The mission of the Hutto ISD Dyslexia Department is to empower students identified with dyslexia by providing them with a Dyslexia teacher trained in research-based, explicit, and multisensory methods of teaching reading, writing, and spelling. We are dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of dyslexia within the school community. By embracing neurodiversity, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, we strive to ensure that all students have the tools and resources to be confident, resilient, and successful learners.
Dyslexia Defined
Dyslexia Defined
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge. - The International Dyslexia Association
