New Site Devoted to Dyslexia Resources Goes Live

The C4K (Collaborating for Iowa’s Kids) group, a collaboration between the AEAs, Iowa Department of Education and local schools, has developed a site with resources to support educators who serve students identified with dyslexia.

The site offers information for parents and educators alike, including:

• Definition of Dyslexia in the State of Iowa
• Presentation for educators on Dyslexia
• Letter for parents about the services that districts and AEAs can provide students with reading concerns
• Information about seeking a diagnosis 
  

An expert group that included Wendy Robinson - Heartland AEA, Director of Instructional Services, Jen Sigrist - Van Meter CSD, Director of Learning and Innovation, and Deb Vail - Heartland AEA, Media/Instructional Technology Consultant identified and developed the resources on behalf of the C4K group. Content was vetted by C4K Work Team Co-Chairs, AEA Educational Services Directors, AEA Special Education Directors and AEA Media Directors.
