Arkansas Law• Parents of struggling students with dyslexia
approached Arkansas lawmakers with concerns regarding screening and interventions for their children.
• From this, Arkansas State Legislature enacted Act 1294 of the 2013 regular session to ensure that children with dyslexia have their needs met by all Arkansas public school systems.

Dyslexia is defined as a learning disability that is
neurological in origin.
![Page 6: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Dyslexia is characterized by…A deficit in the phonological component of language which can cause difficulties with:➢decoding ➢accurate and fluent word recognition ➢spelling
➢reading comprehension ➢reduced reading experience
➢deficiencies in vocabulary and background knowledge
![Page 7: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
These characteristics are often unexpected in
relation to the student's other cognitive abilities.

Myths about Dyslexia • Very common among parents, teachers,
and the general public.
• Need to know myths as well as the truths.

out loud.

What’s the Story about Reversals?
• Reversals are a symptom of early reading development...not a cause for reading difficulties.
![Page 36: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Eye-Movements in Reading• It feels like our eyes glide across the page
but they don’t!– They move in little jumps with little
pauses in between.– Faulty eye movements do not cause
poor reading but are a by-product of it!
![Page 39: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
True or False• Dyslexia can be helped by using colored
lenses.

What We Think Dyslexia Is• Unexpectedly poor reading that is due to
a problem in language--not in vision.• The language system implicated is the
phonological system—the part of the brain used for processing speech sounds.
![Page 42: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
True or False?• Dyslexia is more common in boys than in
girls.
![Page 43: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Controversial: Two Views• Male vulnerability is a myth. Equal
numbers of girls affected.
![Page 44: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Controversial: Two Views
• It is a fact that more boys than girls are identified as having dyslexia.
![Page 45: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Controversial: Two Views
• If you are a teacher and have a limited number of referrals, why might you be more likely to refer a boy than a girl?
![Page 46: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Controversial: Two Views• If you are a teacher and have a limited
number of referrals, why might you be more likely to refer a boy than a girl?
• Behavior problems. Referral bias could explain the fact of more boys being identified than girls.
![Page 47: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
True or False?• Parents with dyslexia are more likely to
have children with dyslexia.
![Page 48: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
True or False?• Parents with dyslexia are more likely to
have children with dyslexia.
• True!
![Page 49: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Familial Risk• Having a parent or sibling with dyslexia
increases risk, but does not mean a child will be affected.
![Page 50: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
True or False?• Students with dyslexia commonly have
additional problems (e.g., ADHD, social problems).
![Page 51: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Conclusions1. Reversal errors are not a cause or hallmark characteristic of dyslexia.2. Faulty eye-movements are not a common cause of dyslexia.3. Dyslexia is a language problem not a visual problem. Language problem resides in the phonological system.
![Page 53: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Conclusions4. Dyslexia runs in families.5. Children and adults with dyslexia may have other problems (e.g., ADHD).6. Dyslexia occurs in boys and girls.

General Steps for Identifying Students at Risk1. Screening
2. Inform the student’s parents
3. Develop and implement an intervention plan
4. Measure outcomes
5. Modify interventions if necessary
6. Measure outcomes
7. Seek further diagnostic testing

Who Should be Screened?According to Ark. Code Ann. § 6-41-603, a school district shall screen:
• Each student in kindergarten through grade two (K-2);
• Any student in grade three or higher experiencing difficulty, as noted by a classroom teacher.
![Page 58: Dyslexia Awareness Arkansas Law, Common Myths, and Our Responsibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649cd95503460f949a3406/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
The screening of students shall be performed with fidelity and include
without limitation :1. Phonological and phonemic awareness;2. Sound symbol recognition;3. Alphabet knowledge;4. Decoding skills;5. Rapid naming; and6. Encoding skills.
