PARENT REFERRAL AND PERMISSION TO ASSESS FORM
Ohio’s dyslexia support laws (ORC 3323.25) define dyslexia as “a specific learning disorder that is neurological in origin and that is characterized by unexpected difficulties with accurate or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities not consistent with the person’s intelligence, motivation, and sensory capabilities, which difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language.” Students with dyslexia tend to have difficulty processing speech sounds, decoding words and reading fluently. Such difficulties often lead to slow and inaccurate reading, inadequate comprehension and difficulty with written and/or spoken language
According to Ohio Revised Code 3323.251 (Dyslexia Screening), a student’s parent, guardian, or custodian can request that a dyslexia screening measure be administered to their child. If you would like to have your child screened, please sign and return the Parent Permission Form. The assessment will be conducted during regular school hours. Once testing is complete, you will receive a copy of your child’s test results. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the building principal for more information.
