Overview

The student who struggles with reading, writing, and/or spelling often puzzles teachers and parents.  The student displays adequate intelligence and receives the same classroom instruction that benefits most children.  Still the student struggles with some or all of the many facets of reading, writing and/or spelling.  This student may be identified as a student with dyslexia.  As defined in TEC 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.
2. "Related disorders" includes disorders similar to or related to dyslexia such as developmental auditory imperceptions, dysphasia, specific developmental dyslexia, developmental dysgraphia, and developmental spelling disability.
