Dyslexia
Pflugerville Independent School District offers dyslexia services to students identified with dyslexia at each campus. The District utilizes a variety of instructional models to meet the needs of students with dyslexia, including pull-out reading instruction, reading acceleration classes, and classroom accommodations. The goal of these services is to facilitate the development of skills and compensation strategies that will enable students with dyslexia to become independent, proficient consumers of written text.
In addition to the provision of reading instruction to students with dyslexia, the District also affords educators and parents professional development opportunities in the area of Dyslexia.
