State Dyslexia Laws – Archive Links

In 2009, Davis Dyslexia Association International created a legislative tracking site called Dyslegia.com to monitor laws tied to dyslexia services that were considered or passed in the United States. When the site was launched, only a handful of states had laws on the books recognizing dyslexia or providing for dyslexia screening or services. That website was actively maintained and updated through 2023.

Now, almost all states have laws on the books tied to dyslexia, For a current overview, see State of Dyslexia ( National Center on Improving Literacy).
