Survey: How is Iowa Meeting the Needs of Students with Dyslexia?

Education stakeholders are encouraged to take a survey about how Iowa is meeting the needs of students with dyslexia. 

The Iowa Department of Education is teaming up with the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital to distribute the survey on behalf of the Iowa Dyslexia Task Force. The task force was established by the Iowa General Assembly in 2018. 

The survey’s intended audience includes parents of children with reading difficulties, public school administrators, educators and paraprofessionals; area education agency professionals; and higher education teacher training faculty. 

The survey is completely anonymous and voluntary, although participation is strongly encouraged so that the task force can have a comprehensive collection of information about dyslexia response in Iowa. The survey closes on May 31. Survey results will be detailed in a report to the Governor and General Assembly in November. This report will be available to the public.
