What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability recognized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Dyslexia may cause a student to struggle with reading and spelling. If you suspect your child has dyslexia, it is crucial for them to be evaluated for learning disabilities.
Does a Child with Dyslexia Qualify for Special Education Services?
Under IDEA, dyslexia is a recognized learning disability. This means dyslexic students are entitled to a free appropriate public education. A student diagnosed with dyslexia is entitled to an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) under IDEA. Students with dyslexia can achieve great educational success when they are provided with the right resources.
The experienced special education law attorneys at Maya Murphy, P.C. will advocate for your child so they may receive the proper evaluations, IEP, and support necessary for them to reach their full academic potential.
