Got a call from a parent today.
Her teen with dyslexia is expected to “fill in the blanks” on notes meant as accommodations.
For students with processing challenges, that’s not access — that’s another barrier.

Dyslexia is not a lack of intelligence. It’s a difference in how the brain processes language.

Autism & dyslexia can often co-occur.
To support the success of individuals w these neurodiversities, early identification, access to science-based, evidence-informed interventions, & inclusive accommodations in schools, communities, & workplaces are essential.
