AJE is excited to shared this flyer from our partners at Decoding Dyslexia DC! 

Decoding Dyslexia DC understands the power of the collective and the impacts of parent voices, they work to encourage policy-makers to collaborate in the best interest of supporting families and advancing services for struggling students. With the “Addressing Dyslexia and Other Reading Difficulties Amendment Act of 2020,” now a DC law 23-191, it’s important that council members and policy makers full fund it!

That’s were you come in! Write a letter to your councilmember asking them to fully support and fund the the law, using the template below or your own words.

E-MAIL ADDRESSES:
