Mission
At HPA, our Special Education Team’s mission is to provide support services for scholars who have been identified as having one or more of the disabilities referenced in state and federal law per their Individual Education Programs. We are committed to providing scholars with tools and strategies that will equip them for success in high school and beyond.

Dyslexia Screening
Herron Preparatory Academy screens all students for characteristics of dyslexia in grades K-2 and screens students based upon need in grade 3, per Indiana state guidelines. Students identified with characteristics of dyslexia are supported through our core literacy programs, the Units of Study in Reading, Writing, and Phonics and Junior Great Books. Additionally, students identified with characteristics of dyslexia are supported through specific intervention programs including Leveled Literacy Intervention and Orton Gillingham.
In accordance with IC 20-35.5-5-5-2 reporting requirements, during the 2021-2022 school year HPA 18 students were identified with characteristics of dyslexia and received academic intervention support. No students were reported to the school as officially diagnosed with dyslexia by a certified medical professional during the 2021-2022 school year.
