Service Description

Turbo Start: A Dyslexia Curriculum for Newly Identified Students with Dyslexia is a nine-week, evidence-based dyslexia intervention that can be used as part of a standard protocol dyslexia instruction program. The Turbo Start program provides a jump start for newly identified students with dyslexia who need comprehensive dyslexia intervention while awaiting placement in an intervention group. Turbo Start addresses the five specific evidence-based components of reading intervention. Each component is taught developmentally, using a direct, systematic, cumulative, multi-sensory method of introduction and practice to meet the specific needs of newly identified students with dyslexia. Turbo Start is a complementary dyslexia instruction program that provides comprehensive, intensive, evidence-based instruction for students who are identified off-cycle and addresses characteristic weaknesses of students with dyslexia to support optimal growth, once placed in a sequential reading intervention program.
