ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

AISD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

The Central Texas Dyslexia Conference is held each year in October, which is Dyslexia Awareness Month. Each year the event brings together parents, teachers, advocates, tutors, administrators and community leaders to learn how to best support the academic and emotional needs of students with dyslexia.

Austin ISD has been organizing the conference since 2015 and provides dyslexia training and evaluations year round for AISD students. This support includes training reading specialists to be certified academic language therapists and working toward a goal of staffing every elementary school campus with an ALT.

The conference is free to attend and is made possible by dedicated volunteers and financial contributions from the community. The 2018 Central Texas Dyslexia Conference Committee includes Suzann Vera (Co-Chair), Liz Branch (Co-Chair) and Austin ISD.
