State Dyslexia Handbooks: Texas and Mississippi

   

ReadingThe Dyslexia Handbook: Procedures Concerning Dylexia and Related Disorders is a document from the Texas Education Agency. The Mississippi Dyslexia Handbook- Guidelines and ProceduresConcerning Dyslexia and Related Disorders is from the Mississippi Department of Education. Each of these documents outline processes and procedures mandated by these states for identifying and helping kids with Dyslexia and related discorders.

Although the references to what is mandated by each state are not applicable outside those specific states, many of the processes for identifying and and helping dyslexic students are appropriate for all parents and teachers.

This Texas document, written in both English and Spanish, provides very specific information for Texas parents and educators regarding state mandated procedures along with references to the related Texas State Laws. While the doc is over 100 pages long, the key parts can be found in the first 20 pages. Much of the rest of the doc includes text of various legislation, federal and state, as well as a repeat of the entire document in Spanish.

The Mississippi document has less references to specific Mississippi lasws and more references to external research, programs and materials to help children with Dyslexia and related problems learn.
