I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum this has gained so quickly. This movement belongs entirely to the families who have decided that our children deserve better and I am just humbled to be a part of it.

Please hold schools accountable in authentically helping students who struggle with dyslexia. The four key areas indicated by Decoding Dyslexia are an excellent starting point! Too many students are graduating functionally illiterate because the school system is failing to legitimately address this.
Texas and other states have great Dyslexic programs. Some districts have OG/Wilson programs, so this should be all across the state not just certain school districts.
I have a 4th grader who is just now getting on board... and a high schooler who went through the system being told she just needs to read more... and is just now being identified with dyslexia. Changes need to happen. Please help our children!
My son has just been diagnosed with Dyslexia and the school says he doesn't qualify for any services. He is 2.5 grade levels behind in reading and 3.5 in spelling. The laws need to change!
My son has sever dyslexia. I have been fighting now for three years with my school district to get him the appropriate services. I finally have had enough and hired a special education lawyer which is suing the district to protect my son's right.
Every child deserves an education.
I support this petition and strongly believe that educators should be educated on the subject of creating more inclusive and focused plans for different learners.

Just came from my son's parent teacher conference where I was told Dyslexia isn't a recognized diagnosis! Enough is enough... I've been trying to get him help since he was 5. Our education system needs to be overhauled to include how ALL the students learn not just the majority.
