Policy Analysis: Understanding the Local Context
In this project you will investigate the policies and practices related to dyslexia diagnosis and at the state, district and school levels. A set of key questions to address are included, though you may also include other relevant information not addressed by these questions. This assignment will be comprised of the following three parts. Each part should be included under a separate subheading. (I only need help with Part A and C )
Part A: Policy Analysis
State-Level Policy – My state is Florida
You may use several sources of information for this section pertaining to the laws in your state. Read the article by Youman and Mather, which outlines the status and content of dyslexia laws, and some of the differences and regulations across states.
Other Resources That Can Help You
Also, visit your state (Florida) department of education website to investigate the reading policy in your state. You should also find your House K-12 subcommittee on to determine recent policy initiatives.
