Dyslexia can make learning and understanding normal school material very difficult for students. This article takes advantage of the fact that schools can provide multiple sources of assistance to students with dyslexia. This helps balance out their learning experience.

These sources include:

  • Implementing technology and programs to assist students with reading and writing.
  • Instructions and directions that cater to students with dyslexia.
  • Support for self esteem.
"For a dyslexic reader, accommodations represent the bridge that connects him to his strengths and, in the process, allows him to reach his potential." - Sally Shaywitz, MD

Key Takeaways:

1
Schools should provide access to high quality information that will provide foundation in reading skills. This should include sufficient time for instruction and progress monitoring.
2
Some students will require supplemental targeted or intensive intervention. Teachers should then make appropriate instructional matches based on students' needs. This should be delivered by trained individuals or educators.
3
Students should also be provided access to accommodations, assistive technology, and social/emotional supports as needed.
