Hi everyone

Can you help please?

A student with dyslexia is enrolling on a professional course here at UWIC - REGULATIONS OF CARE SERVICES AWARD which is a long distance learning course.  He is working full time and has recently had an assessment completed by Access to Work. A number of recommendations were made for equipment, training and a specified hours of support from a Dyslexia support tutor.

Is he eligible to apply for a DSA on that type of course? Or is he only eligible for what has been recommended through ATW?  I have tried to contact the LEA (Denbighshire)for clarification to no avail. So would appreciate any advice/information that anyone has on the matter.

Thanks
