At King's we attempt to pay for dyslexia assessments via the Access Fund
whenever possible. We ensure that assessors understand that we will try to
avoid the student having to fund it themselves, whether they turn out to be
dyslexic or not. We fund students who are not eligible for the Access Fund
via other sources whenever possible.
