Update: Dyslexia Support. Report to the Legislature
Jackson, Aira
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
In 2011, the Washington Dyslexia Resource Guide was created as a capstone document highlighting the multiple professional learning resources used by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Educational Service Districts (ESDs). From 2005 to 2010, OSPI received funding from the WA State Legislature to work closely with school districts, ESDs, and the Washington Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (WABIDA) to develop resources for families and educators focused on the identification and support of students with dyslexia. During the 2016-17 school year, the Regional Literacy Cadre (RLC) representing each of the nine ESDs reported the following: (1) RLC members presented on dyslexia at state and regional conferences; (2) OSPI staff attended conferences and events on dyslexia around the state; (3) OSPI has started collaborating with researchers at the University of Washington; and (4) The ELA Office at OSPI and the RLC provided technical assistance (phone calls and email correspondence) to families and districts on dyslexia identification, legality and support.
