EPISD Dyslexia Program




Dear Parents,

Welcome to the Dyslexia Website! The purpose of creating this website is to provide the information necessary to help you make the best decisions for your child with regard to characteristics of dyslexia and the intervention/accommodations that should be provided for your child. Our goal is that this website will be the resource you need to locate the information you are seeking about Dyslexia and create communication and collaboration between the campus, parents and the district program.

If you have any questions, suggestion or comments you can contact the program office at (915) 231-5496.

Thank you.
