Do you arrange EP assessments for your students? Everybody responded 'YES'
If you answered YES to (1) do you have your own in-house service? Most people use external EPs, but facilitate this on-site. Some use specialist teachers etc with a current practising certificate.
Do you ask students to contribute towards the cost of an
educational psychologist assessment? A very small minority ask for a small contribution. Most people use Access to Learning Funds to cover the full cost of the assessments.
No of dyslexia diagnosis assessments undertaken this academic year - this varied, but EVERYBODY commented on the general increase in costs and numbers of students being diagnosed.
