Dyslexia is included in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) as a specific learning disability (SLD). Legally, you can talk about dyslexia at school.

Schools are NOT required to name a student's learning disability dyslexia. They can meet federal and state standards by identifying a student as having a Specific Learning Disability (SLD).

SB 6162 went into effect in Washington state in the 2021–2022 school year. This law requires all public schools SCREEN K–2 students for dyslexia and other literacy challenges, not diagnose.

This official medical diagnosis from a licensed Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) can be given to your school to initiate 504 and IEP plans. It cannot be used for accommodations on SAT or ACT testing.

No, if you have dyslexia in 2nd grade you still have it in high school. Students with dyslexia should have access to accommodations whether they are academically struggling or not. In our opinion, the only reason to reassess would be if they were going to receive some intervention, and you wanted to know what areas to provide intervention for.

In high school and college students typically will sit down with their academic advisor and discuss what accommodations are appropriate for each academic school year. You just have to have proof of that original diagnosis.

An official dyslexia diagnosis or a specific learning disability (SLD) from school related to reading is required to be eligible for literacy intervention through the INW Dyslexia Alliance. (To pursue a diagnosis via a “donate what you can model” visit here.)

Our board believes this is an important step for a student in order to acknowledge and embrace the term “dyslexia". As a nonprofit focused on dyslexia, this ensures the clients we take on for intervention have that specific challenge.

Recognizing that the expense of obtaining a private evaluation can be a barrier for many families, we have implemented a "donate what you can" approach. Families are encouraged to contribute an amount they deem feasible, and our Client Assistance Fund covers any shortfall to make the intervention accessible to all (when funds are available).

Our leadership team is located in Spokane, however, our reach extends across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.
