“411 of Dyslexia”: The Current Status of Dyslexia in Texas Schools have been bombarded with constant changes in the area of Dyslexia, including revisions to the Dyslexia Handbook, not once, but twice! These changes have given rise to a plethora of questions. Join us for this 2 hour Live Webinar with TEA Deputy Commissioner, Dr. Jennifer Alexander who will provide answers to the questions arising from these changes. Disabilities attorney Cynthia Buechler will guide you through the recent changes and legal decisions where dyslexia instruction and specific learning disability was at the center of the controversy. |
