  • CCISD PURPOSE

    The purpose of Corrigan-Camden ISD’s Dyslexia and Reading Intervention Department is to assess students suspected of having dyslexia and provide dyslexia intervention to those students with dyslexia.  The Corrigan-Camden ISD Dyslexia Program provides explicit, direct instruction organized in a systematic, sequential, and cumulative way to meet the specific learning needs of students with dyslexia. This intervention program fulfills the requirements of the Texas Dyslexia Law to utilize individualized, intensive, and multisensory methods to deliver the components of instruction, which include phonemic awareness, graphophonemic knowledge, language structure, linguistics, and strategy usage. Reading Intervention Teachers are provided with the training and support needed to deliver an appropriate instructional program to students eligible for these services.  Staff development opportunities are made available to classroom teachers to meet the classroom needs of students with dyslexia.  Parent information opportunities are also offered.

    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. 

     

    To be in compliance with TAC 74.28 (f), providing parents with information about dyslexia, TEA has created a form to assist districts with this requirement. This form has been posted to the TEA website and you can find it under Dyslexia Resources. I have also attached it to this email. Below, you will find exactly what TAC 74.28 (f) reads.

    TAC 74.28

  • 504

    The purpose of Section 504 is to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability in any program or activity provided by school districts and other educational providers that receive federal financial assistance.

    No qualified student with a disability may, solely on the basis of a disability, be excluded from a district’s programs and activities.

    The purpose of Section 504 is to ensure that students who are Section 504 eligible have educational opportunities equivalent to those of their nondisabled peers. School districts are required to provide appropriate general education or appropriate special education and related aides and services. This means that school districts may be required to provide accommodations to ensure that equal educational opportunities are available to eligible students with disabilities.

    Under Child Find requirements, districts are required to identify, locate and evaluate qualified disabled students residing within district boundaries. Additionally, public schools are required under this statute to provide a free, appropriate public education, or FAPE, to individuals who qualify as persons disabled under Section 504. FAPE, under Section 504 regulations, consists of a program of general and/or special education and related aids and services that are designed to meet the education needs of a disabled student as adequately as the educational needs of a nondisabled student. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is charged with enforcing this statute.
