A Multiple Streams Analysis of Recent Changes to State-Level Dyslexia Education Law
Gearin, Brian; Turtura, Jessica; Kame'enui, Edward J.; Nelson, Nancy J.; Fien, Hank
Educational Policy, v34 n7 p1036-1068 Nov 2020
This article provides an overview of recent changes to state-level dyslexia legislation. It begins by applying a variant of Kingdon's multiple streams approach to explain how the dyslexia education "policy window" came to be opened. The article then describes the most likely effects and side effects of the new laws. Likely short-term effects include (a) a greater focus in schools on dyslexia screening and intervention, (b) greater use of multitiered systems of support and explicit instruction, and (c) changes in teacher preparation and training. Possible long-term effects include a reconceptualization of what constitutes "normal" school practice.
