At present study support for students with dyslexia is funded through accessing the DSA. The Institute's role is to provide administrative support and room space. The study support tutor is free-lance and charges _30.00 per hour for individual sessions. A student will usually have 1 session per week for each academic term. As I access the DSA on the students behalf, I have come accross a variety of ways in which the DSA is applied. Plymouth City Council has refused payment on the grounds that the cost of additional tuition should be met by the institution as part of their pastoral care role and that "Regulations specify the level of tuition cost that can be met by a Local Authority ad this has already been paid in respect of the tution fees." Has anyone else come across this problem? Or, have you experience of a successful appeal? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ami %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
