Dyslexia Services
The most common CISD services offered are:
- Language Science Dyslexia Therapy Program
- Regular classroom with 504 accommodations
- Special Education Services for Eligible Students
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 504 or 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 Language Science Dyslexia 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.
