REPORT: Austin ISD dyslexia rate reaches nearly 23%, state data shows, as schools work to meet demand
Why diagnoses are rising
“The number of students identified with dyslexia in Texas has increased dramatically over the past five years, largely due to legislative and policy changes, as well as increased awareness, O’Mullan said.”
Reporter Acacia Coronado published an in-depth story about dyslexia rates and what is being done to meet the challenges—and the work that still needs to be done.
Her story underscores the urgent need for more Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs).
We’re grateful that Coronado reached out to us for a quote from our executive director, Kelly O’Mullan.
After reading Ms. Coronado’s excellent report, take a look at our upcoming Dyslexia Therapist Training Program.
The deadline is to sign up is almost here, and training begins on June 8.
