Dyslexia Communication Tools for Schools

Our Center partnered with the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio families, and educators to develop sample communication tools and guidance for schools related to Ohio’s Dyslexia Laws. These resources are aligned with Ohio’s Dyslexia Guidebook for schools, and can be copied/adapted for local use. If you would like to request additional communication tools or have questions about the existing resources, please email Dr. Meredith Wellman at wellman.87@osu.edu.
