The Texas Education Agency (TEA) recommends local education agencies (LEAs) develop a multidisciplinary team to use this internal tool to strengthen dyslexia programming. The Texas State Dyslexia Requirements Worksheet consists of 6 essential elements for implementing a district-wide dyslexia program: (1) screening, (2) evaluation and identification, (3) instruction, (4) parent/guardian participation, (5) written documentation requirements, and (6) teacher training. LEA multidisciplinary teams should review each requirement, identify a source of evidence to confirm that requirement, and develop any action steps needed to meet or exceed minimum requirements.
Dyslexia Requirements Worksheet can be found in the TEALearn Course found HERE.
