Am I missing something here? We have students with dyslexia on both the QTS and PGCE courses and funding for the psych assessment comes from ALF as it would with any other student in HE.

Any suggestions on funding for the assessment?
I did suggest he pay but I was a little surprised at how little he is being paid for his present (unqualified) "teaching" job!
It seems his school have not been as supportive as they might have been.
