Our Goals

We will achieve our mission through five overall goals. Through these goals, we will increase access to, and use of, evidence-based approaches to screen, identify, and teach students with literacy-related disabilities, including dyslexia.  We will also build individual and organizational capacity to assess students’ literacy-related skill, identify students with disabilities or those at risk of disabilities, and fully implement evidence-based literacy programs and professional development.

Goal 1

Identify or develop free or low-cost evidence-based assessment tools for identifying students with or at risk for literacy-related disabilities

Goal 2

Identify evidence-based literacy instruction, strategies, and accommodations, including assistive technology, designed to meet the specific needs of students with or at risk for literacy-related disabilities

Goal 3

Provide families of students with or at risk for literacy-related disabilities information to assist such students

Goal 4

Identify or develop evidence-based professional development for teachers, paraprofessionals, principals, other school leaders, and specialized instructional support personnel

Goal 5

Disseminate the products to regionally diverse SEAs, REAs, LEAs, and schools
