How much do other institutions charge LEA's for learning support for
dyslexic students?
We currently charge 35 stg per hour (350 stg per term) for individual
support and 10 stg per hour (100 stg per term) for group support with our
internal Dyslexia Support Tutor. Our terms are actually 11 rather than 10
weeks.
This is proving insufficient to cover her salary-related costs, as she can
not spend all her time of her time in direct contact with students (it
seems to be averaging around 50% student contact) and a fair amount of
the direct student contact does not generate income (initial screening,
agreeing exam arrangements, students who are not eligible for DSA etc etc)
We had original anticipated the fees covering most, if not all, of the
Dyslexia Support Tutor's salary and the institution putting in
administrative support, providing office and interview space etc.
How do other institutions deal with this, and is it realistic to expect
the service to become substantially self-funding?
