The IDEA and Georgia's Literacy & Dyslexia Legislation Webinar
Recorded Webinar
Description:
This informative webinar explains the intersection of the Georgia Early Literacy Act, the Dyslexia Law, and the IDEA. This session reaffirms IDEA’s long-standing requirement that children with disabilities participate in all state or district-wide assessments. It also provides considerations for local education agencies (LEAs) when developing local guidelines and procedures to address the program needs of children who are eligible for both an individualized education program (IEP) and a tiered reading support plan or characteristics of dyslexia support plan. Several real-world scenarios are shared where participants can apply knowledge in practical situations to prepare them to make informed decisions about student supports in their own local contexts.
Disclaimer: While the resources included in this lesson may reference the Georgia Early Literacy Act (HB 538) or the Dyslexia Bill (SB 48), the information remains relevant and applicable to the Georgia Early Literacy & Dyslexia Act (HB 307). Materials are actively being reviewed and updated as needed to ensure alignment with current legislation.
