Good to Know Info
Dyslexia Resources
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 experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.
Arkadelphia School District utilizes the Barton Reading and Spelling Program and Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia by Scottish Rite for Children to provide intervention for students exhibiting the characteristics of Dyslexia.
