What Pasadena ISD Provides:

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological 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 the growth of vocabulary and background knowledge (Adopted by the International Dyslexia Association Board of Directors, November 12, 2002). 

Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Evaluations in Pasadena ISD: 

All dyslexia and dysgraphia evaluations are conducted as part of an IDEA evaluation. This means we seek fully informed parental consent, which includes prior written notice and is accompanied by the notice of procedural safeguards for a Full Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE) under IDEA.
