Decoding Dyslexia

Decoding Dyslexia is a parent-led grassroots movement concerned with the limited access to educational interventions for students with dyslexia in the public education system. Decoding Dyslexia’s mission is to raise dyslexia awareness, to empower families to support their children and to inform policy-makers on best practices to identify, remediate and support students with dyslexia. Decoding Dyslexia New Jersey was formed in the fall of 2011 by several parents that met on a train after returning from a National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) luncheon in New York City.[1][2][3][4] Today there are Decoding Dyslexia groups in all fifty states and four Canadian Providences.[5] To find the chapter in your State, go to United States movement national website. Decoding Dyslexia is a savvy group that are turning their frustrations into change. To raise awareness they have tuned into using the power of social media to connect with other families and people interested in changing the perception of dyslexia.[6] Decoding Dyslexia groups advocate for change locally in their respective States and in Washington DC.[7][8][9]
