Frequently Asked Questions
What accommodations should I put in place for my child with dyslexia at school (high school and college)?
The first step should be screening for dyslexia and getting a diagnosis. Once diagnosed, there are many supports you can request to be put in place to help your child at school. These may include extra time on tests or for homework, taking tests in a separate quiet space, being allowed to use text-to-speech technology, tutoring, etc. Please see the section on dyslexia in adults for more information.
