Zirkel, Perry A.
Learning Disability Quarterly, v43 n3 p127-139 Aug 2020
This article provides a current, comprehensive, and concise overview of the law specific to students with dyslexia in K-12 schools. It consists of (a) an overview of the applicable legal framework, which includes the federal foundation in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, (b) a compact tabulation of the state dyslexia laws that fits within this overall framework, and (c) a summary of a representative sample of court decisions specific to the identification of and interventions for students with dyslexia. The discussion identifies the legal lessons of the applicable state laws and court decisions within the overall limitations of law and suggests illustrative areas for follow-up research.
