#DyslexiaBC agrees "identifying a concern is not the same thing as making the necessary investments to support learning.”
More specialists need to have input into BC's Plans around screeners
#bced #bcpoli #accessiblebc #InclusiveEducation 2/2
Screening alone isn’t enough
BC’s K–3 literacy screening identifies students - without $, resources, or intervention, it won’t help them succeed
BCTF: identifying concerns≠investing in support
#DyslexiaBC agrees-early identification must B paired with funded, EvidenceBased intervention

Got a call from a parent today.
Her teen with dyslexia is expected to “fill in the blanks” on notes meant as accommodations.
For students with processing challenges, that’s not access — that’s another barrier.

“If you could turn back time, would you change having dyslexia?”

“When I was a kid they didn’t call it dyslexia. They called it… you were slow”-Whoopi Goldberg
Dyslexia is not a lack of intelligence. It’s a difference in how the brain processes language.
Let’s change the words. Let’s change the story. ❤️

“Before I had dyslexia, you know what I had? Stupid. Lazy. Useless.” — Will Trent
No one should ever feel this way because of how their brain learns.

“At 31, I found out I wasn’t stupid or lazy. I had something with a name.”
- Henry Winkler
Dyslexia doesn’t define intelligence, it defines how the brain learns.

Waiting to long for a diagnosis with or without science informed evidence based instruction can be hard on a child with dyslexia!! it’s a lot harder to overcome Dyslexia once mental health becomes an issue. #DyslexiaBC #bced #bcpoli #inclusion #inclusive
