GOALS
The intent of the Millsap ISD dyslexia program is to match specialized instruction to the individual needs of students with dyslexia and related disorders in order to provide opportunities for these students to develop their full potential as independent readers.
Students with dyslexia or other reading disorders will:
- Be identified as early as possible in order to provide timely interventions.
- Experience success in reading, writing, and spelling.
- Gain confidence and self-esteem as they experience success.
- Apply their reading skills independently in new situations.
The program will:
- Foster in students, staff, and community an understanding of dyslexia as a learning difference.
- Serve as a support service for students, teachers, and parents.
SERVICES
Services include but are not limited to the following:
- Provide an individualized, intensive, phonetic and multi-sensory reading, handwriting and spelling program for identified dyslexic students (based on committee recommendation).
- Conference with students, teachers and parents.
- Discuss individual student’s strengths and weaknesses with regular teachers.
- Establish with the teachers and the parents appropriate accommodations for the classroom.
- Aid in development of student organizational skills and responsibility.
