Building A Dyslexia Parent Group - Step 3

🎉 Welcome Fellow Parent! 🎉

You've taken a crucial step towards ensuring your child receives the support they need. Our course, "Building A Dyslexia Parent Group - Step 3", is designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of federal laws related to dyslexia. 📚

Course Essentials:

• Download Your Workbook (be sure to open to Step 3 for guidance through this lecture).
• Understand Your Rights: It's essential to know that while many colleges of education might not cover dyslexia, SoR, IDEA, or FAPE, these are critical components of the educational landscape. Your child has rights under federal law, and it's time to advocate for them.

Step 3 - District Compliance with Federal Law:

In this step, we delve into whether your school district is adhering to the requirements set forth by federal law—specifically, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (SoR). Our expert guest speakers in Step 3 include:

• Louisa Moats, Educational Consultant
• Kareem Weaver, Dyslexia Advocate
• Brenda Louisin, Special Education Director
• Kerry Agins, Dyslexia Therapist
• Pete Wright, Special Education Attorney
• Kevin Gorman, Educational Researcher
• Andrea Rowson, Literacy Expert
• Brett Tingley, Your Course Instructor and President of Our Dyslexic Children, Inc.

Key Takeaways:

• Stand in the Truth: Remember that you are advocating for rights that are already mandated by law. As Brett Tingley states, "You are not asking for anything special, only what is federally mandated." 🏫
• It's a Teaching Disability: Pete Wright, a Special Education Attorney, emphasizes in our documentary 'Our Dyslexic Children', "It’s not that it’s a learning disability, it’s a teaching disability. They don’t know how to teach the child properly." 🎓
