This updated, informative webinar explains the intersection of the Georgia Early Literacy & Dyslexia Act 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. This session is designed to support districts in making informed decisions about student supports in their own local contexts.
