This seems to cover it
In view of the issues XXX is experiencing, it is suggested that
he/she
would
benefit from access to study skills sessions, and it is
suggested that
these
sessions initially be arranged for a minimum of ten hours, after
which
further sessions could be arranged through the creation of an
Independent
Learning Plan (ILP): in accordance with current guidelines.
Note: this rate and duration are based on current information
and may
therefore have to be varied at a later date. There may be a need
for
greater
frequency, or for the support to be continued over a longer
term, and
this
should be arranged on confirmation from the Support Tutor and
the
University
Disability Office and in accordance with current guidelines.

Hi
I haven't yet begun using the new Needs Assessment
report format.
However, I anticipate recommending whatever I feel is
appropriate -
but
will then add a rider along the lines of: "Support
provision will be
set
to 10 hours in the first instance but will then be
subject to review
by
university disability staff in order to determine
whether further
support
is appropriate." (or something along those lines).
The key seems to be identifying suitable wording.
Regards
Peter Hill

I'm not objecting to the 10 hour rule - but some
of our students have
the impression that they are limited to 10 hours
and have said that
they
are reluctant to come for any support in case
they need it all later
-
which leaves me wondering how many others are
simply keeping away?
My question would be - can the Assessors make
absolutely sure
[verbally
and in clear writing] that the students know
that additional hours
are
available? I know from some reports that this
is actually the
meaning,
but remember that dyslexic students can have
trouble understanding
the
content of these long and quite complicated
reports. My concern is
that - unintentionally of course - this new way
of writing is putting
students off the very support that they need.
Yes, we do everything we can to communicate the
real situation, but
cannot reach students we don't know about!
