Intervention Services
Who is eligible for intervention services?
Students with a primary diagnosis of dyslexia or a specific reading or writing disability are eligible for intervention services. Students who do not have a diagnosis but who meet the diagnostic profile of a student with dyslexia may be considered for admission.
What is the age limit for students?
Students in grades 1-12 are eligible for services.
What is required for admission?
To be considered for admission, each student must provide a copy of a comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation. An assessment of cognitive abilities is required to be less than 3 years old. An assessment of academic achievement must be less than 2 years old. A completed student application is also required.
What is psycho-educational evaluation?
A psycho-educational evaluation measures the cognitive abilities that show how a child learns, problem solves, reasons, and remembers information. It also measures academic achievement, or how well a child performs in subject areas like math and reading.
The Children’s Dyslexia Center of Bangor accepts psycho-educational evaluations that are school-based or privately obtained. See the brochure for the Children’s Dyslexia Centers, Inc. for information on what measures must be provided to determine eligibility. For recommendations for professionals to perform evaluations, consult your child’s primary care provider.
