Sign up to become a movie ambassador! What the OBBBA or One Big Beautiful Bill Act May Mean for Dyslexic Students, The Imagination and Perseverance of Octavia Butler, Reviewing the IEP Now
I don't want to be a movie ambassador but would like to express that I hope that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act does much more for people with dyslexia than how it is now and has been for decades. I have worked for over 20 years as a special education teacher in many different public schools in New Jersey and almost all of them did very little to nothing for dyslexia. I am a certified Wilson Reading teacher. I have chosen not to teach in public schools any longer because it is too frustrating to deal with administrators and their policies. Children are not often not helped. Their accommodations and modifications are most often not necessarily helpful. As we know, many students are either identified with dyslexia not until the upper elementary levels or not at all. Most parent have to pay for expensive private tutoring to properly evaluate and instruct their children. There is no excuse for how children with dyslexia are not instructed properly.

I also hope that more tutoring money may be available, Donna. Too bad some potential money won't be available until 2027.
I didn't know that it would be available. I may be completely retired by then!
