Irving ISD offers an explicit, systematic, cumulative, multisensory approach to teaching students in need of services for dyslexia.
A multisensory approach is a way of teaching that appeals to multiple senses simultaneously. By using a multisenseory approach, the teacher is able to engage the student in more than one way. This helps children build neural pathways in the brain. These connections help students learn more effectively.
Dyslexia interventionists are trained educators that implement the programs with fidelity along with a responsive approach that reacts to student data and needs.
