we have a small number of HE students ( about 1.000)and do pay for EP
reports for those who are dyslexic and need a report. My rationale is that
if as an institution we have a commitment under SENDA to fully support
dyslexic students then the money spent on EP reports probably works out less
than us supplying support and some specialist equipment if a student does
not have the DSA.

Hello!  May I ask how many other institutions operate such a system?
Thanks, Loretto

Faye,

Sorry, I was speaking in shorthand....  Our institution has agreed that it
will meet the cost of any (home) student taking the test, which costs us
currently £250 a go.  We do not means test the student, but they do have to
'physically' fill out a short application form and apply for the Hardship
Funds.  The Psych then invoices the institution direct, not the student.
(Hope this is worthy of the 'crystal mark'!)

How does your hardship fund automatically pay for Ed Psych reports? dont
your students have to apply/be eligible?

purposes.  We pay it automatically from the Hardship Fund.  The autumn term
is the heavy period for testing.  There are difficulties with students who
want to be tested prior to enrolment, because we cannot use the Hardship
Fund for them.  So, I give them the choice - to get tested at their own
expense prior to the course, or to wait till they're here.
