Employment Service and LSCs

If you are unemployed contact your local Employment Service office.  Local Learning and Skills Councils (LSCs) may be able to part-fund accredited courses for Teaching Assistants.

Employers/Local Groups

Some employees are willing to meet fees for assessment and/or specialist tuition. Lions, Round Table and companies might also be able to help.

Local Bursary Funds

These are sometimes linked to the local Dyslexia Association groups - or Friends of the DI. Ask at your local Centre.

Education Trusts

These are listed in:

"The Directory of Grant Making Trusts" (pub. Charities Aid Foundation) - available in libraries;

"The Educational Grant Directory" by Luke Fitzherbert and Michael Eastwood; 

"A Guide to Grants for Individuals" available from:  The Directory of Social Change, Radius Works, Back Lane, London NW3 1 HL.

Your Family Doctor

If your GP refers for assessment, private medical insurers may consider paying the assessment fee. Some GP fundholders may be able to pay.
