We pay for the test from Access to Learning Funds. Currently 62 people have applied to the fund (two weeks in to term!). Does anyone else get these sorts of numbers applying?

For our HE students the expectation is that the student will fund their EP report if our own free screening service suggests that they are likely to be dyslexic. We do rely on the hardship fund for some cases but not all. hope this helps Alison Alison James Learning and Teaching Co-ordinator Surrey Institute of Art & Design, University College Falkner Road Farnham Surrey GU9 7DS Tel: 01252 892762 **** The information contained in this E-mail is confidential and may be subject to legal privilege.
