Did you know about 1 in 5 people has dyslexia?
Dyslexia is the most common learning difference, but with early identification and the right support, every child can thrive.
🏛️ New in Colorado: Governor Jared Polis recently signed Senate Bill 25-200 into law, mandating universal dyslexia screenings for all K–3 students starting in the 2027–28 school year. This significant step ensures that early signs of dyslexia are identified promptly, allowing for timely intervention and support.
This month, we’re highlighting resources to support families and educators in understanding and addressing dyslexia. 💙
