Georgia and Massachusetts Advance Dyslexia Screening and Intervention. State Innovations. Vol. 28, No. 1
Hedger, Joseph
National Association of State Boards of Education
State boards of education are well placed to advocate for more young children to be screened for dyslexia, a disability that by some measures affects up to 20 percent of the U.S. population. Boards can also ensure that identified students receive effective interventions, as those in Massachusetts and Georgia have done. This report discusses how board members from these two states collaborated with state officials, practitioners, and experts to develop multipronged early screening and intervention policies.
