Dyslexia Association (WABIDA) and the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).
Written by WABIDA board members and supporters, the Dyslexia Resource Guide is designed to provide guidance to schools and
families. Three goals were in mind for this document: 1. Build an understanding of the term dyslexia, 2. Learn how to
identify students with dyslexia, 3. Support teachers and parents in educating students with dyslexia. Additionally,
it provides guidance for administrators, educators and caregivers in making the best educational decisions for Washington
students with dyslexia. This collaborative
effort, The Dyslexia Resource Team, also includes working with Educational Service Districts (ESDs)
around the state.
For more information about these efforts, the expertise and knowledge each organization brings, please refer to this document.
