The criteria we use is; a discrepancy of twenty points between verbal and
non verbal standardised scores. The child must also be within the average
intelligence band.
The criteria is not set in stone, it will depend on individual children's
needs. e.g when a child has other difficulties such as ASD or emotional
difficulties etc.
The amount of support also varies depending on the child's needs. I've had a
child receive specialist tuition from me 4 hours a week and another one hour
a week. This does not include any support (e.g. in class) a child receive
from a TA.
