Parents, caregivers, educators, and legislators are working together to ensure all teachers and their school districts have the resources they need to reach students with or at risk of dyslexia. We need everyone’s help. You do not need to have a child with dyslexia to be involved with Decoding Dyslexia CA. Amazingly, almost everyone knows someone with dyslexia. Our elected officials need to know that the people living in their district care about this issue.
