It's simply unconscionable that our public school system has not adopted an evidenced based system by which they identify and teach our dyslexic students to read. We are failing these students on a daily basis, leading them to be marginalized and emotionally damaged. With this failure these student are not given the chance to reach a fraction of their potential. These mandates are more than over due as generation after generation of dyslexic students are pushed through the school system to graduate without adequate reading and writing skills.

I teach in CT and know how necessary this is. Unfortunately I am a MA resident. I have been working with dyslexic students since 1974 - since 1978 in CT and am very pleased that it is beginning to be recognized again - as it once was.

Professional training for teachers on dyslexia is desperately needed. Numerous children go undetected, continue to struggle, and they and their families are in pain. Our schools are failing our children with dyslexia--trying to ignore it.

It is time children with language deficit disorders receive the support they require for a happier and easier quality of life.

This should not be an issue in 2015. It's very common.

Let's get the right services in place, which requires a good framework to guide the school systems.

Early identification and proper knowledge regarding dyslexia are mandatory to ensure success for students who may stuggle. The earlier the interention the more successful te outcome. Very overdue!
