Dyslexia Services

The most common CISD services offered are:

  • Special Education Services for Eligible Students, including Dyslexia Intervention Services
  • General Education classroom with 504 accommodation

Within Carroll ISD, the definitive decision in determining whether or not a student meets the district’s dyslexia/related eligibility criteria is made by the ARD/IEP Committee. Each student will receive all programs/services and/or accommodations/modifications as delineated in his or her 504 Plan (IAP) or Individual Education Plan (IEP).

Dyslexia Therapy

The Carroll ISD dyslexia intervention Program is an Orton-Gillingham based explicit, intensive, multi-sensory program available at all campuses, beginning with phonemic/phonological skills in kindergarten and first grade. This intervention is considered specially designed instruction.
