- Progress monitoring intervention data
- Reading data in comparison with learning and achievement in other academic areas
- Parent and teacher information and observation
What dyslexia servuces will my child have if they are identified with dyslexia?
That will vary based on the child. Contact your child’s school for specific programming information.
Does my child have to be in a certain grade level before a dyslexia evaluation can occur?
No, Your child does not have to be in a certain grade level before a dyslexia evaluation can occur.
What if i had my child tested by an outside source? May I share that with the school?
