This handbook of procedures related to dyslexia is designed to provide guidelines for Mississippi school districts, teachers, and parents in the identification and instruction of students with dyslexia, to assist regular educators in gaining current information concerning dyslexia, accommodations and modifications, and to provide information on instructional programs designed to meet the unique needs of students with dyslexia. Following an introduction and discussion on the characteristics associated with students with dyslexia, the handbook outlines specific academic modifications and accommodations for helping students with dyslexia maintain or regain self-esteem and academic integrity. Suggested interventions are then provided for reading, spelling, handwriting, copying, writing composition, study skills, and organizational techniques. The intervention and identification process is also described, including the data gathering and review phase, provision of instructional interventions within regular education classrooms, assessment for dyslexia, and multisensory programming. Multisensory program characteristics are outlined, along with costs and contacts for programs that are currently being utilized to provide services to students with dyslexia. Appendices include provisions of state law, a referral form, a multisensory program review form, answers to frequently asked questions concerning students with dyslexia, and additional forms.
