The educators at Child and Family Development vote “YEA” for House Bill 149, which the North Carolina senate has just signed into law!

HB 149 will much needed awareness in the public school for students with dyslexia and learning disabilities as well support our teachers.  

According to the NC Decoding Dyslexia website, HB 149 will:

  • Define dyslexia in the state education code.
  • Ensure that the State Board of Education provide professional development “on the identification of and intervention strategies for students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or other specific learning disabilities.”
  • Require State Board of Education to develop and make available information electronically about dyslexia, educational methodologies, screenings and what is available to support the work with children with dyslexia.
  • Require local boards of education to review the diagnostic tools and screening instruments they have available.
