“Say Dyslexia” Bill in the House Education Committee

January 28 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Free

Join the Rally to Support the “Say Dyslexia” Bill!

Love Your School is organizing a rally in support of House Bill 2170, the “Say Dyslexia” Bill, at the Capitol. Join IDA Arizona and other partners on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at 1 PM to show your support!

This important bill will be heard by the House Education Committee. If passed, it will require a student’s IEP (Individualized Education Program/Plan) to have “dyslexia” written on the paperwork if the child has a dyslexia diagnosis.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make your voice heard. RSVP and stay updated on rally details HERE!

Why is the “Say Dyslexia” Bill Important?

  1. Empowering Parents: Including a dyslexia diagnosis in IEP paperwork empowers parents to advocate effectively for appropriate interventions and dyslexia-specific services for their child. Dyslexia often requires more targeted interventions than general reading support.
  2. Raising Awareness: This bill is a significant move towards raising awareness of dyslexia at the legislative level. With broad support, it can encourage further policy changes to help not only dyslexic students but overall literacy reform.
  3. Addressing the Reading Proficiency Gap: According to the latest NAEP results, only 31% of Arizona students scored at or above proficient in reading. Ensuring dyslexia is mentioned in IEPs is a crucial step in helping thousands of students and their families secure proper reading intervention services.
