Bryan has beaten me to it!
The relevant section in the guidelines is:
"Study support to help with basic study skills to manage dyslexic thinking
styles and difficulties within higher education, language and numeracy.
Individual study support sessions may be required because generalised advice
offered by a department may not take into account different learning
skills."
Emma is offering a really useful service to her students at King's College.
However, as she says, it's not charged to the DSA.
