Gale eBooks is a database of encyclopedias and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research. These reference materials once were accessible only in the library, but now you can access them online from the library or remotely 24/7. Because each library creates its own eBook collection, the content you see may vary if you use the database at different libraries (your school, your public library, or your office).

Dyslexia occurs on a continuum and may look different for different students, in part, because its effects may be exacerbated by a variety of other conditions. Any of these commonly co-existing conditions can contribute to reading and/or writing difficulties that already exist in these students.
Students with dyslexia often have the cognitive capacity to learn grade level content, but their reading and writing difficulties get in the way. There are some accommodations often recommended for students with dyslexia.
One of the most common questions families have is how to get their child help when they suspect dyslexia or any other learning disorder. Assessments in FCPS start in the classroom and may include a referral to the Local Screening Committee. While these assessments do not diagnose dyslexia, they can document the presence of characteristics of dyslexia.
In FCPS, students with dyslexia usually receive special education services under the category of Specific Learning Disability. Students must meet all criteria to be found eligible for special education services and if eligible, services and supports are addressed through an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
