Decoding Dyslexia-MA Decoding Dyslexia - MA is a grassroots movement driven by private citizens, Co-Founders and Leaders

Our group is made up of parents and friends of children with dyslexia. We are not experts, nor are we a business or educational organization. We have come together to support children with dyslexia by seeking changes to the public education system through early identification of reading difficulties, appropriate teacher-training and evidenced-based remediation of language-based learning disabilities in our public schools. We know that dyslexic children can learn given the right resources and are determined to help make those resources available to them! While Decoding Dyslexia Massachusetts ("DDMA") welcomes expression, comments, and recommendations relating to diagnosis of dyslexia, and finding effective interventions to overcome dyslexia the opinions expressed, and matters posted to this page do not necessarily reflect the views of DDMA or any of its members, nor does DDM endorse, guarantee or warrant any specific product or service recommended by any person who posts here.

Dyslexia Awareness with the Massachusetts Secretary of Education at a new 766 school for dyslexia is a milestone! We need more opportunities and we need easier access to the resources and specialty instruction kids with dyslexia need. Thank you South Shore Stars for the Stars School and Zrike for supporting Dyslexia Awareness.

There is no "right " time to discontinue speech language therapy.. if a student is still struggling with speech as speech and language advances. ( including written language) .
Not every child needs speech to continue.. but the decision is not based on a district policy of stopping SLP services at a grade level .. "we don't have SLP services in .... grade."

Thanks to all the researchers, parents and parent advocates, and especially the kids who have supported Dyslexia Awareness in Massachusetts. Again this year, as MA Governors have for over 10 years - Maura Healey has proclaimed October Dyslexia Awareness Month.

There is no shortage of children whose educational rights are being violated. There is no shortage of parents desperately searching for help. But there is a tremendous shortage of attorneys willing and able to take these cases.

The demand for legal representation in special education far exceeds the number of attorneys available to provide it.

Families are routinely turned away, not because their claims lack merit, but because attorneys lack the time, resources, or financial ability to take on another school district.

And school districts know it.

They know most parents cannot afford prolonged litigation. They know few attorneys practice in this area. And they know that even when families have the law on their side, enforcing it can be financially and emotionally devastating.

We don’t just need more attorneys practicing special education law. We need to make this work financially viable, accessible to families, and sustainable for the attorneys willing to do it.

Because until we close the enormous gap between the number of children who need legal protection and the number of attorneys available to fight for them, schools will continue to face far too little accountability.

We cannot litigate our way to systemic change if there aren’t enough lawyers willing to take the cases.
