Dyslexia Program

Hindman Settlement School operates dyslexia education programs for children and provides training and support to parents and teachers of children who learn differently. Using teaching methods proven to benefit students with dyslexia, the Settlement School has served thousands of students and their parents since the program began.

Accreditation
Hindman Settlement School has applied for accreditation of its training curriculum by the International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council (IMSLEC). Accreditation will ensure that teachers or supervisors who are trained by the school receive quality instruction in the methods required to produce positive, measurable literacy results. The dyslexia program is conducting a self-study as part of the accreditation process.

IMSLEC Accreditation will benefit the Settlement School by:

• Validating the quality of instruction provided to students enrolled in the school's dyslexia programs;
• Assuring potential students and their families that the school provides high quality educational services;
• Enabling the Settlement School to market its training to others; and
• Engaging staff in continuous learning and self-evaluation.

Research suggests that people with dyslexia are often of average to above-average intelligence. They just process information differently. Hindman Settlement School believes investing in these young people is a long-term strategy that has and will continue to benefit the region.

Non-Discriminatory Policy
Hindman Settlement School admits people of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
