I would be very interested in finding out what screening procedures
other HE institutions use for indicators of Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and
Dyscalculia as well as other conditions such as Asperger Syndrome and
ADHD / ADD. I would be grateful if anyone would be happy to share
information on the following:
1) What is your policy on screening for developmental disabilities /
SpLD's, including dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ASD's and ADHD? Do
you just screen for dyslexia or are you able to screen for any other
conditions?
2) What screening tests do you use?
3) Do any students get automatically screened on point of entry? i.e.
within certain faculties or across the University?
4) Given how difficult it can be to get a formal diagnosis of
conditions such as Asperger's, ADHD and Dyspraxia, do you accept
anything else as satisfatory evidence in order to put support
arrangements in place?
Many Thanks
Nicola
