AI Accommodation Suggestions for Reading Disabilities

A student with dyslexia decoding a math word problem, a history primary source, or a science lab procedure is experiencing the same barrier in every classroom. Accommodation suggestions for reading disabilities need to travel with the student across all subjects and all teachers. The Accommodation Suggestion Generator creates reading disability suggestions that are organized by the type of reading task) decoding, fluency, comprehension, written output, and usable by every subject-area teacher, not only the ELA teacher.
How Teachers Use Accommodation Suggestions for Reading Disabilities
Ms. Johnson creates cross-subject text access suggestions for a student with dyslexia
A reading specialist coordinating support for a 5th-grade student with dyslexia whose core challenge is phonological decoding. The student is intelligent and comprehends well when text is read aloud, but cannot access grade-level text independently. She generates cross-subject accommodation suggestions, text-to-speech access for all written materials, digital formats for all handouts, audiobook versions of assigned texts, and oral assessment alternatives for all written reading tasks. She shares subject-specific guides with all five teachers.
Mr. Williams generates fluency accommodation suggestions for a 9th-grade student
A high school English teacher with a student whose reading fluency is significantly below grade level, slow, effortful reading that drains cognitive capacity for comprehension. The student has compensated with strong listening comprehension and verbal intelligence. He enters the fluency deficit profile and receives suggestions: extended time on all reading assessments, permission to read-along with audio, reduced silent reading requirements with alternatives, and text preview activities before independent reading that build schema for the content.
Ms. Park creates written output suggestions for a student with dysgraphia and dyslexia
A special education teacher supporting a middle school student with both dyslexia and dysgraphia, the student struggles with both reading and written expression. She enters the dual profile and receives suggestions for both input (reading) and output (writing): text-to-speech for reading, speech-to-text for writing, digital assignment formats, reduced handwriting requirements, oral response alternatives for assessments that test content not writing mechanics, and typed examination options.
