Open Conversation
- Schools do not diagnose dyslexia
- Schools use screeners to identify struggling readers, but
these are only 'indicators' and not an external and clinical
diagnosis
- Parents can contact the school psychologist and/or
Reading Interventionist if they have questions about
whether or not to proceed with an external evaluation for
Dyslexia
