Breaking News in Education: Updated Definition of Dyslexia!
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties in word reading and/or spelling that involve accuracy, speed, or both and vary depending on the orthography. These difficulties occur along a continuum of severity and persist even with instruction that is effective for the individual’s peers.
The causes of dyslexia are complex and involve combinations of genetic, neurobiological, and environmental influences that interact throughout development. Underlying difficulties with phonological and morphological processing are common but not universal, and early oral language weaknesses often foreshadow literacy challenges. Secondary consequences include reading comprehension problems and reduced reading and writing experience that can impede growth in language, knowledge, written expression, and overall academic achievement. Psychological well-being and employment opportunities also may be affected. Although identification and targeted instruction are important at any age, language and literacy support before and during the early years of education is particularly effective.

While research defines what works in literacy, the true driver for change is building teacher capacity.
I look forward to sharing research at the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Conference in March on how Professional Learning (PL) communities improved teaching practices and outcomes for students with dyslexia.

This February, our teachers shared more than Valentine wishes. They wrote personal notes of encouragement to remind every student that they are seen, valued, and deeply believed in.
A strong school community is not created through grand events. It is shaped through everyday actions by educators who show up and prioritize students again and again. That is where self belief begins and where young people find the courage to stand confidently in who they are. 💌💕

“The Roig Academy and Dr. Jennifer C. Roig, Ed.D have been a lifesaver in an overwhelming time in our life. When your child does not fit in the cookie cutter mold of life, it is often difficult to find a listening ear, someone who cares, the knowledge and patience to guide you.”
