Most students will end up being tested based on data through our screening and normal RTI (Response To Intervention) process, but this is not always the case. Generally we open two testing windows, one in late Fall, and one in mid Spring to allow all students who qualify to begin our Dyslexia program at the same time in small groups. During non-testing windows, students are receiving intense, data based intervention to address areas of shown weaknesses in reading, spelling, and writing by reading intervention teachers on our campus. Remote students have access to Intervention resources through each grade level's Google Site. If data from screening procedures and intervention classes conclude that a further evaluation should be given, students will be given a more detailed evaluation that will also include information from teachers and parents. This is typically done through a 504 Evaluation, but sometimes requires a full evaluation through the Special Education Department.
