Hi Alison Is it worth talking to someone in a Disability Employment Adviser at your local Job Centre for advice? It may seem an odd suggestion but I think it is worth a try, there might be some help available? Regards, Paul Smyth (D.O. Richmond College) ---- Message from mailto:<[log in to unmask] Alison James <[log in to unmask]> at 2004-10-21 12:52:41 ------ Dear all a member of our academic staff wants to have an Educational Psychologist's report to look into her suspected dyslexia and expects the institution to fund this. This is a new situation for us, and I have forwarded her request to our Equality and Diversity Officer as I have assumed this is a Personnel matter. ( My own provision is for funding student support, as is that of my colleague in Student Services). We have offered her back up through screening and staff development however. She believes it is practice in other universities to fund EP reports for staff and I haven't a clue whether this is so, although can believe that larger institutions are probably better placed to offer these kinds of services. Can anyone advise on practice? We are a small specialist arts institution and one university she mentioned was UEL, which is of a very different size to us. (Anyone from UEL out there??!) thank you very much Alison Alison James Learning and Teaching Co-ordinator Surrey Institute of Art & Design, University College Falkner Road Farnham Surrey GU9 7DS Tel: 01252 892762
