Thanks Bernard It may interest others to know that I now have had responses which suggest that anything from £25 to £50 an hour might be suggested. As with notetaking, the rates of which I looked at recently, there needs to be some parity across the institutions but there will inevitably be some regional variation. Perhaps a good starting point might be 'what do we mean by dyslexia support?' , ah if only I had the time to debate this....

Then every one will hire them. Otherwise, you are right: our recommendations from this Centre are routinely for a rate of 'up to £45 an hour' for institutions all over the country.

Does that ring any bells, and if so what were the financial implications?
