Dyslexia

When a student struggles with aspects of reading and spelling despite the ability to learn in the absence of print and receiving the same instruction that benefits his/her peers, he/she may be a student with dyslexia. According to the University of Michigan, 70%-80% of students with reading difficulties are likely to have some form of dyslexia.

MISD follows the guidelines established for the evaluation of dyslexia in The Dyslexia Handbook: Procedures Concerning Dyslexia and Related Disorders --Revised 2021, published by the Texas Education Agency. Students who qualify for dyslexia services may receive a wide range of support from intense, pull-out intervention to classroom accommodations, or a combination of both.
