Released in recognition of Dyslexia Awareness Month this October, the Blueprint is grounded in research and was developed through a multi-year collaborative process which engaged students, educators, administrators, parents, advocacy organizations, and community leaders. This type of work is even more critical given the uncertainty at the federal level, underscoring the importance of a clear, inclusive vision for the future of education.
