Dyslexia Services

  • As defined in Texas Education Code Section: 38.003 (1) “Dyslexia” means a disorder of constitutional origin manifested by a difficulty in learning to read, write, or spell, despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and sociocultural opportunity.

    ACA serves students with dyslexic tendencies at each campus for grades K-8.

    All students are screened for Dyslexia in kindergarten and first grade.

    To assist families in understanding Dyslexia, the International Dyslexia Association published this helpful guide: IDA Dyslexia Guide

    For more assistance or information about dyslexia, please contact your campus 504 coordinator OR
