	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

	they

they need it all later
			      

	-

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!
