You spent high school with extended time on tests, audio textbooks, and a case manager who checked in every quarter. Now you're heading to college, and you assume the same support system follows you. It doesn't work that way. The day you enroll in college, the law that protected you since kindergarten no longer applies. IDEA covers K–12 students because schools must identify and support students with disabilities. In college, that obligation disappears. The legal framework shifts to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which require colleges to provide accommodations only when students request them. No one's looking for you. You have to find them. The law is designed this way because college students are considered adults responsible for their own academic lives. Students with dyslexia can absolutely get the support they need in college, but the process requires a different kind of self-advocacy, and most students don't realize that until they're already struggling through their first semester. What Changes When You Leave High School. Under IDEA, your school was required to evaluate you, develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP), and provide services to help you succeed. Teachers, counselors, and case managers initiated meetings and monitored your progress. Your parents attended every IEP meeting and signed off on your accommodations. The entire process was driven by the school. In college, you own the process. ADA and Section 504 shift responsibility to the student. Colleges must provide equal access, but they don't have to...

The law protecting students with dyslexia changes at college. Here's how to navigate the shift from IDEA to ADA.

Dyslexia and College: How Accommodations Change and What Students Need to Know

You've noticed your child struggling with reading, reversing letters, or avoiding books altogether. You've heard dyslexia might be the reason, but you're not sure how to get the school to test for it. Here's what matters: under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), you have the legal right to request a comprehensive evaluation at no cost. The school has specific timelines they must follow, and if they refuse, you have options. This isn't a favor you're asking for. It's a procedural right designed to identify whether your child qualifies for support. Here's how to request an evaluation, what happens next, and what to do if the school says no. Write a Formal Evaluation Request. Start with a written request. An email or letter addressed to the school principal or director of special education creates a paper trail. Verbal requests can be forgotten or misinterpreted. Written requests trigger legal timelines and provide documentation that protects both you and your child. Your request should include:  Your child's full name, grade, and school A clear statement: "I am requesting a comprehensive evaluation to determine if my child is eligible for special education services under IDEA." Specific concerns: reading difficulties, letter reversals, trouble with phonics, slow reading speed, difficulty spelling Any observations from teachers or tutors that support your concern Your contact information  You don't need to diagnose. You don't need to say "I think my child has dyslexia." You're requesting an evaluation because you have concerns about academic progress. The...

How to Request a School Evaluation for Dyslexia: Your Rights and the Step-by-Step Process

The day you tell another parent your child has dyslexia, you'll probably leave the conversation with three program names rattling around in your head: Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, Barton. Each one comes with a story about how it changed someone's kid. What rarely gets explained is how these programs differ, which one fits a particular child's situation, or why the same program can produce dramatically different results depending on who delivers it. If you are sorting through these options right now, here is a neutral breakdown to help you cut through the noise. What These Programs Have in Common. Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, and Barton all belong to a category called structured literacy, an evidence-based approach built on explicit, systematic phonics. Rather than expecting a child to absorb letter-sound patterns through reading exposure, structured literacy teaches decoding directly: phonemes, spelling rules, and phoneme patterns in a deliberate sequence. All three programs are multisensory. Students hear the sound, see the letter, say the word, and often trace or tap while they learn. Research on how dyslexic brains process language consistently supports this multi-pathway approach as one of the most effective ways to build new reading skills. Where they diverge is in delivery: who teaches it, how structured the lessons are, what training is required, and what the family's time and financial commitment looks like. Orton-Gillingham: The Foundation, Not a Single Program. Orton-Gillingham is not a packaged curriculum with a box you can order. It is a teaching methodology developed by neurologist Samuel Orton and educator...

Choosing a Dyslexia Reading Program: What Parents Should Know About Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, and Barton

Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person's ability to read. Those with dyslexia typically read at lower levels that expected, despite normal intelligence. Common characteristics of those with dyslexia are difficulties with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds) and or rapid visual-verbal responding. That being said, you as a parent typically know when your child struggles with reading. They don't like to read. Reading may be labored. Your kids may take too long to do their assignments. So, what can you do as a parent that will make a difference? Is there something you can do? 4 Steps to Improve Reading Skills .  Reading drills to improve reading fluency in 5 minutes a day.

4 Tips To Improve Reading Skills Even If You Have Dyslexia (Part 1)

Allergies cause physical problems, and they can be a significant piece of learning problems and emotional issues. At least 40% of the children I see have allergies as well as dyslexia or other learning and behavior problems.  Having allergies often complicates dyslexia treatment, because it's hard to tell which emotional or physical symptoms stem from the allergy and which are part of the dyslexia or another learning or behavior problem. You may be surprised to know that yelling, screaming, crying, and pouting can be allergic reactions. The list of physical and emotional symptoms of allergies below may surprise you, but I see them every day. Contact your family doctor, naturopath, or chiropractor if you notice any of these symptoms in your child.  Physical symptoms experienced by allergic patients:  Severe energy fluctuations in varying degrees, extreme fatigue, excessive sleepiness, or insomnia, unusual restlessness, general body ache. Pain of any kind, especially anything described as shooting, dull, pinprick sensation, or tightness in the chest. Abdominal symptoms such as bloating, hiccups, or bowel problems such as constipation or diarrhea.  Respiratory distress, including the sensation of dust in the lungs, post-nasal drip, or excessive or unusual sneezing, coughing, or tearing. Heart irregularities such as increased blood pressure, erratic heart rates, or congestion.  Emotional symptoms experienced by allergic patients:  Anxious symptoms such as nervousness, butterflies in the stomach, mood swings, crying spells, or laughing spells. Facial tics or blurred vision, facial numbness, throat constriction, or sensations of hairs in...

Allergies exacerbate dyslexia in children, causing physical and emotional symptoms that complicate diagnosis and treatment.

How Allergies Can Complicate Your Child's Dyslexia

 In the previous blog, we discussed what dyslexia is — difficulty with words — and what it isn't, which is permanent. So how can you tell if your child may have it? According to Scientific Learning Corp, here are clues you may notice at home and at school.   At home, perhaps your child:    Doesn't understand what is said.   Responds slowly or is reluctant to talk.   Says he or she didn't hear parts of conversations.   Asks you to repeat what you said.   Has difficulty telling stories or finding the right words.   Uses incorrect words or phrases; guesses at the right words.    When your child is in school, he or she may...    Let his mind wander in class.   Have problems following instructions.   Forget questions when called on in class or hesitate to respond.   Have trouble focusing in noisy situations.   Experience difficulty with phonics, spelling, and idioms.   Have anger issues or behavioral problems.    Do these symptoms seem familiar? Remember, the condition does not have to be permanent. Let me show you how temporary these problems can be and how the brain of a dyslexic works differently, not poorly.   David was a shy little nine-year-old who sat alone in the lunchroom because he was sure no one would want to eat lunch with him. When David first...

Dyslexia symptoms include difficulty with words, slow responses, and problems with instructions, but with help, symptoms can improve.

Clues and Symptoms of Dyslexia

 The word dyslexia was coined in 1895 but didn't come into common usage until the 1960s. The word comes from the Greek roots dys, meaning "abnormal" or "difficult," and lexis, meaning "word" or "speech." At its most basic level, dyslexia literally translates to "difficulty with words."   Dyslexia is usually considered a reading and / or language-processing problem, and at one time in history, it was a synonym for word blindness or the inability to recognize words. Dyslexia is the most common of the conditions named under the broad category of "learning disabilities" or "learning differences," and involves neurological and structural issues related to brain and body development.    Other factors — such as allergies, nutrition issues, or heavy metal toxicity — must be addressed because they play a critical role in the ability of your child to learn and act appropriately. These complicating factors can cause mood swings, aggression, lack of focus and attention, and imbalances in brain chemistry.   According to the National Institute of Health, dyslexia is "one of several distinct learning disabilities. It is a specific language-based disorder of constitutional origin characterized by difficulties in single word decoding, usually reflecting insufficient phonological processing abilities...Dyslexia is manifested by variable difficulty with different forms of language, often including, in addition to problems in reading, a conspicuous problem with acquiring proficiency in writing and spelling."   Dyslexia is very common. It may affect up to 15% of American students, and half of American...

Dyslexia, a common learning disability, involves difficulty with words and can impact reading, writing, and spelling, but is not permanent.

What Exactly IS Dyslexia?

 The National Institute of Health reports that up to 15 percent of the U.S. population might have dyslexia. As one of the most common learning disabilities, dyslexia has been the subject of much research.   A study published April 2012 in the Current Biology journal suggests that signs of dyslexia are present even before a child begins to read. Dyslexia is a reading disorder that is characterized by the brain having difficulty recognizing and processing certain symbols, such as letters.    While learning disorders such as dyslexia have been thought to be a spoken language problem, this research suggests visual attention is an important component to dyslexia.   In this research study, 96 Italian children in grades Kindergarten through second grade were followed — results show that the children who had difficulty identifying symbols and patterns had more trouble reading later on. The ability to recognize patterns in these symbols and their sounds then impacts speech.   The researchers suggest that including treatments regarding this visual information should be a part of dyslexia therapy. Critics of the study point out that research was completed in Italy, and the relationships between sounds and spelling is more difficult in English than Italian; therefore, the results might not translate as well to English-speaking children.

Study reveals dyslexia signs exist before kids learn to read, highlighting visual attention's role, potentially impacting therapy.

Study Finds Dyslexia Starts Before Reading

One out of every three children entering first-grade lacks the basic skills for success in school. The National Center for Educational Statistics shows that as many as 20% of our nation's children have substantial difficulties learning to read, and in California 57% of fourth-graders cannot read at a basic level. The problem may be dyslexia.  Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for minimizing the impact of dyslexia. Parents with histories of reading/language difficulties should take note of their children's early development. Documenting milestones can be a useful tool for determining if intervention is needed. If you've received a diagnosis, consider finding an educational program that meets your child's specific needs.


It's crucial to recognize early signs of dyslexia, as early intervention can mitigate its impact on a child's learning abilities.

 I was one of the “puzzle children” myself–a dyslexic…. And I still have a hard time reading today. Accept the fact that you have a problem. Refuse to feel sorry for yourself. You have a challenge; never quit!—Nelson Rockefeller, former Governor of New York and Vice-President of the United States (pictured)  I never read in school. I got really bad grades–D’s and F’s and C’s in some classes, and A’s and B’s in other classes. In the second week of the 11th grade, I just quit. When I was in school, it was really difficult. Almost everything I learned, I had to learn by listening. My report cards always said that I was not living up to my potential.–Cher   The looks, the stares, the giggles…. I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.–Magic Johnson, basketball legend  I had to train myself to focus my attention. I became very visual and learned how to create mental images in order to comprehend what I read.–Tom Cruise, actor You should prefer a good scientist without literary abilities than a literate one without scientific skills.—Leonardo da Vinci   I couldn’t read. I just scraped by. My solution back then was to read classic comic books because I could figure them out from the context of the pictures. Now I listen to books on tape.—Charles Schwab, founder of stock brokerage  I hated school…. One of the reasons was a learning...

And Now for Some&#8230;Quotes from Famous People with Dyxlexia

Watching a child struggle with reading, writing, and other academic areas can be heartbreaking for parents and other family members. The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) strives to help parents of dyslexic children, as well as, others with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences overcome these challenges. With its 46 branches, located throughout the United States and Canada, and its 21 global partners across 18 countries, including Australia, Brazil, England, Germany, Ireland, and Japan, the IDA is a non-profit, scientific, and educational organization dedicated to the study and treatment of dyslexia and other learning difficulties.   The organization estimates that up to 20% of the population demonstrate signs of dyslexia and a recent study revealed that as many as 35% of entrepreneurs may be dyslexic. Each year, the IDA answers 30,000-40,000 direct inquiries to their national office from individuals seeking more information about dyslexia. Due to an increased demand for support services, the IDA has shifted to offer more resources directly to parents of dyslexic children.   As a result, the IDA has developed the Parent Pilot Program to help parents of children with dyslexia or other reading and writing difficulties. This unique program provides parents access to an online interactive community including a discussion forum, blog and more, a bi-monthly dyslexia newsletter, access to Perspectives (The IDA's quarterly publication focusing on dyslexia and other reading problems), discounted pricing on IDA publications, access to Annals of Dyslexia (a journal dedicated to the scientific study of dyslexia), discounted admission to...

  Dyslexia is an invisible disability. It is caused by a difference in brain structure which is present at birth and is often hereditary. As a result, incoming or outgoing information gets scrambled as it travels between the senses and the brain. Dyslexia does not affect intelligence level–yet it can impair one’s ability to learn, retain and express information.   Recognizing and manipulating symbols, especially letters and numbers in sequence, presents the most universally acknowledged problem. Reading, writing and math, taught by traditional methods, can be difficult if not impossible for the person with dyslexia to master. Poor memory, coordination problems, confusion of right and left, and impaired depth perception are also common attributes.  Who Has Dyslexia? Dyslexia occurs in 15 percent of the population. Men and women from every ethnic, social and economic background are affected. Some of the most successful and famous people in the world have dyslexia…. You would be surprised.  What Are The Signs of Dyslexia? A cluster of characteristics that interferes with one’s ability to function in school or at work could be a clue to this hidden disability. The severity of these symptoms vary from person to person. Dyslexia can be indentified through proper testing by trained specialists.  Symptoms of Dyslexia in Childhood: -Difficulty expressing thoughts-Delaying learning of tasks such as tying shoes and telling time-Inattentiveness and distractability-Inability to follow directions-Left-Right Confusion-Difficulty learning the alpabet, multiplication tables, words or lyrics-Poor playground skills-Difficulty learning to read-Mixing the order of numbers...
