GISD is committed in providing students with dyslexia every opportunity to succeed.  We recognize that every child is unique and the impact of dyslexia can vary from person to person.  We provide students with the appropriate intervention and supports, as well as recognizing the individual need of the student to ensure they are afforded the educational opportunities they deserve.

In addition, we promote self-advocacy, provide scientifically proven, evidence based intervention and have a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) or therapist-in-training on every campus k-12.  We strive to provide every opportunity that will prepare our students for future success.

Our Mission

GISD Dyslexia, in partnership with families, teachers, and educators, will identify, support, empower and provide exceptional dyslexia services through the promotion of self-advocacy, scientifically proven, evidence-based instruction, and meeting the individual needs of each student so they may recognize their potential and have the tools they need to achieve success throughout their lifetime.

Our Vision

The GISD Dyslexia Department, as a nation-wide model, affords every student identified with dyslexia an opportunity to thrive academically, fostering readers and writers while embracing the culture and values that support and encourage the success of all students with dyslexia.
