Dear all,
A student enrolled on a degree course has an Educational Psychologist
report that states (among other things of course):
"significant weaknesses with phonological processing"
"presents with some dyslexic features but also evidence of wider learning
difficulties"
"scored 12 out of 20 on adult dyslexia checklist"
The psychologist recommends consideration of additional study support and
additional time in exams.
I'd appreciate views / advice on whether additional support could / should
be offered to this student.
Does anyone know of any official guidance in such cases?
I'm told that general learning difficulties do not qualify a student for
disability support I suppose on the basis that such difficulties are not
"substantial". It is difficult to square that when the difficulties are
assessed as being very similar to dyslexia.
Thanks
