Ohio Department of Education

In early 2021, Governor Mike DeWine signed legislation strengthening dyslexia supports for Ohio's children. The new dyslexia support laws establish:

Dyslexia screening measures;

Professional development for identifying dyslexia and instructing students with dyslexia;

A multi-sensory structured literacy certification process for teachers; and

The Ohio Dyslexia Committee.

To address questions about Ohio's dyslexia support laws, the Department has developed a Frequently Asked Questions webpage.
