Lessons can take place in a one-on-one setting or small group. It is a pullout program. The number of minutes per session and the number of sessions per week will vary from campus to campus, however a student identified with dyslexia will receive no less than 60 minutes per week. If a student is identified with dyslexia within the last 4 weeks of school, the student will begin receiving dyslexia services the following school year.
