The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System will host a Dyslexia Screening Event for families in the Montgomery County community. The event will be held at the CMCSS Learning Center, 343 Pageant Lane, Clarksville on October 22 and November 21. Families can register for a time slot using the Google forms below.

To participate in the screening, children must be at least four years old and up to 12th grade. Students do not have to be enrolled in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. A parent or guardian must remain on-site during the screening. If the child is a CMCSS student, the results from the screener will be shared with the child’s school.

If a student has been previously screened for characteristics of dyslexia, please bring or share the information in the registration link.

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a language based learning disability affecting reading and spelling skills at the word level. Individuals with dyslexia manifest along a spectrum, with some impacted in minor ways and others experiencing significant difficulty acquiring the ability to recognize and spell words and read with automaticity and fluency.

Why is Screening Important?

By screening for early warning indicators of characteristics of dyslexia, teachers and instructors can better pinpoint areas of concern and design support. If your child’s profile reflects characteristics of dyslexia, parents or guardians will be provided information about dyslexia, and the school will be notified of the screening data. A student must not be formally diagnosed with dyslexia to receive appropriate intervention. The survey-level assessments used in screening are sufficient to identify your child’s needs and plan for dyslexia-specific intervention.

How to Participate

Screenings will be held on Tuesday, October 22, and Thursday, November 21, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m., 12:30 to 2:00 p.m., and 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Families who wish to attend during the 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. or 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. time slots should use the Google form below to reserve a time. For the 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. time slots, walk-ins are welcome, but registration is preferred to adequately staff.
