Dear Helen,
Here is another slant on the situation in Hull. As Phil mentioned, our
Dyslexia Tutors (Dyslexia Advisers) come under Disability Services, part of
Student Support Services. However, Study Advice Services maintain close
links with Disabilities, to the extent that we have included some of the
materials they have produced on our own website - naturally with their
permission and full acknowledgement of the source.
The materials, which may be of interest to others, can be viewed at:
http://www.hull.ac.uk/studyadvice/serv_info/reso_dyslexia.htm
We also ensure that we have information about Disability Services available
for students to pick up when passing or when they come to see us, if it is
required. We are very much aware that we are not experts in dyslexia but
that specialist help is available. How one sets about delicately suggesting
that such help could be appropriate is another matter...
Best wishes,
Judy

Subject: Dylexia Tutors in HE
Dear All
We are currently under going a number of departmental changes at our
University and I am researching where Dyslexia Tutors who work with
students with a DSA (Disabled Students Allowence) fit in with other
institutions? I would like to know which department employs the tutors? Are
they employed by the disability department or by another department, such
as Study Skills/Academic Skills? I would be really interested to find out
if there is a similar departmental structure throughout the majority of
institutions.
Many Thanks
Helen
