Helping parents who have children with dyslexia is hard due to the fact that most schools still don't acknowledge dyslexia as a specific learning disorder.
Even the fact that the state Department of Public Instruction (DPI) acknowledges the reality of dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental learning disorders does not guarantee that schools and teachers understand how to identify and educate these children effectively.
On this page you will find links to resources to help you and your parents understand the struggle more, be able to advocate better, and to help prevent mental health problems for students with dyslexia through allyship with them.
