How does Kentucky handle dyslexia? Ouch. That’s a heated question that will draw many passionate responses on both sides of the issue. If you ask several people in the state if they think it’s even recognizing dyslexia, or if they’re doing enough for it, and you will hear many say no, loudly.
Truthfully, the federal legislation does categorize and define dyslexia as a learning issue. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, the state does allow educators to put the learning issue on an Individualized Education Plan. In addition, House Bill 69, passed in 2012, says that dyslexia is a subset of a learning disability.
