Dyslexia


Currently, the WISD Dyslexia program is based on the Orton-Gilliam approach, the standard in dyslexia remediation. 

The WISD Dyslexia Program is available for any student that exhibits reading difficulty, has not responded to intensive reading instruction, and through evaluation, meets state criteria for a student who exhibits the symptoms of dyslexia.  The program, based on research, is short term.  Students receive two to three years of remediation training providing them with the skills and strategies to compensate for a life-long neurological condition.  Academic Language Therapists provide services to dyslexic students in all secondary schools, Curtis, and Seguin through a pull out program.   In the remaining elementary campuses, highly trained resource teachers deliver services to identified students in an inclusive program with other students who have reading disabilities.  Again, the Orton-Gilliam approach is used in this model.
