Dyslexia Legislation
in Missouri
Legislation on Learning Disabilities
Missouri has just in the most current legislative session passed a bill specific to
dyslexia.
Prior to this, the state only had legislation for a specific learning disability in:
*basic reading skill
*reading comprehension
*reading fluency skill
Determination of Eligibility
To qualify for a specific learning disability in reading a student must:
*show a lack of response to a scientifically based intervention in one of the
previously identified areas
*have a documented pattern of strengths and weakness AND
one of the following:
*a minimum discrepancy of at least 1.5 deviations between the
student’s achievement level and identified intellectual
ability OR
*professional judgement may be use for those students who do not
Senate Bill 638
*Passed May 12, 2016
*Requires two hours of training on dyslexia for all teachers
*Requires mandatory screening and support for students with dyslexia and
related disorders
*Creates a Legislative Task Force to study dyslexia research and provide schools
with findings and recommendations
Questions to Address
*As this is a newly created law, there is still much to be interpreted.
*Schools are unsure of what the training for teachers should consist of and who will
be responsible for providing the training.
*Schools are unclear on which tool(s) will be approved to be use for screening
purposes.
*Schools also do not have adequate direction on the types of “support” that are
required to be offered.
*These requirements go into effect beginning with the 2018-2019 school year. More
specific information is expected from the Task Force by December 31, 2017
The Future of Dyslexia Education in Missouri
*This is a huge first step in addressing the needs of dyslexic students in the
state.
*Many teachers are eager to begin training to learn how to best help their
students.
*Ideally, state funding for training and support programs will be made available
to districts to best address student needs.
Advocacy Organizations in Missouri
*Decoding Dyslexia Missouri: decodingdyslexa-mo.org
-parent-led group advocating for children in Missouri with dyslexia
(branches in other states)
-offers online resources and monthly meetings in the St. Louis area
*Kansas/Missouri branch of the International Dyslexia Association
-local branch of the international group
-provides referrals for screening and tutoring as well as information on
local events for training
