Often the EP report lacks the supporting information one requires for anything 'outside the normal provision'. I had a similar request for Sat Nav from a social work student but could find no reference to any sort of spacial problem in the EP report. I had a chat with an Ed Psych today who does lots of reports for students and he was completely unaware of how his reports were used. Like many other Ed Psychs he was writing his reports as if they were for school aged students. Recommending laptops and teaching strategies that just are not going to be provided in HE. There is a discussion going on on the NADO list of which some of us may be aware abiout an LEA who will not agree to a DSA award because the report does not say say the student has dyslexia but describes other difficulties. It would be really useful if a guide could be prepared for Ed Pyschs conducting reports for DSA applicants. I am sure that most EPs would be only too happy to revise their presentation.

Apart from the test results both the Ed Psy and the student specifically stated that map reading was an area of notable difficulty. Considering the extensive hours she was required to complete visiting clients as part of her course the recommendation was made to the LEA and they approved it. >>
