Dyslexia
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a brain-based learning disability that makes learning to read, write, or spell difficult. Dyslexia is considered a specific learning disability (SLD)under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which is the federal law that describes the requirements of special education. When dyslexia or a related disorder is suspected that may require the provision of special education and related services, both IDEA and the Dyslexia Handbook outline the requirements for individual evaluations and the identification process.
