North Herts College Access Centre has no DSA funded Dyslexics - last
year no HE courses as Sociology was sold to Herts Univ. This year
we have a new 'Performing Arts'Q - only just started.
Therefore we carry out assessments for other institutions. There
seem to be relatively few who offer 'Group work' for dyslexics.
West Herts College (part of Herts Univ.) used to and found the group
was frequently disrupted by individuals who perceived themselves as
falling behind the rest of the group. I think that they are
continuing Their rate is £15 per hour.
We will be setting up dyslexic support for Performing Arts any minute!
