I have had a query from our Dept of Education about dyslexia and teacher
training. Apparently there are a number of competencies which students
have to meet if they are to be awarded Qualified Teacher Status. Some of
these competencies may be much more difficult for a student with dyslexia
to meet. My question is:
What do other institutions do when a student with dyslexia wishes to study
foir a degree with QTS?
Our Dept were wondering about asking for an Ed Psych's assessment, in the
same way that they ask for a medical, so that they can assess the level of
dyslexia...but they are not sure whether to ask for the assessment before
or after making an offer of admission.
