Dyslexia News - Massachusetts Action Alert upcoming legislation July 2018 -Decoding Dyslexia Massachusetts Decoding Dyslexia MA is a grassroots movement driven by parents, educators and professionals concerned with the limited access to research based interventions for dyslexia. We are inspired by and collaborating with other Decoding Dyslexia groups nationwide. We aim to raise awareness, to empower students with dyslexia and their families, and to inform policy makers on best practices to identify, remediate, and support students with dyslexia in Massachusetts public schools and institutions of higher learning. -Decoding Dyslexia Massachusetts Blog Most recent post from January 15, 2017 is '2017 Dyslexia Screening Legislation for Massachusetts' Massachusetts July 11, 2017 - State House News Service -DYSLEXIA INTERVENTION PITCHED AS CRITICAL NEED Colin A Young -US Dept of Education Guidance Letter on Dyslexia Michael K Yudin -Call to Action for Children with Dyslexia - Wrightslaw -YES!
