Should Dyslexia Be Its Own Special Education Category? What Parents Need to Know
Option 2: Bold + Opinion (your voice)
Here we go again… changing labels instead of fixing the real problem.

👉 Kids aren’t struggling because of the category
👉 They’re struggling because they’re not getting the right support
Focus on services. Always.
