Dyslexia

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a lifelong condition that makes it difficult for people to read.  Dyslexia is mainly a problem with reading accurately and fluently.  Students with dyslexia may have trouble answering questions about something they've read.  But when it is read to them, they may have no difficulty at all.  

Students may be referred for an evaluation for the dyslexia program based on common signs of dyslexia.
