The Oregon legislature took up the issue of Dyslexia and teacher training again last week. The new bill, SB 221 (see attachment), is in response to earlier feedback from many groups, including our ad hoc work group of Gina Biancarosa, Sylvia Thompson, Ilana Umansky, Beth Harn, and others working behind the scenes last Fall. We were contacted the day before a legislative hearing on March 30th and asked to respond to the revised bill. Julie Wren and Dianna Carrizales-Engelmann worked with me to create and submit the letter attached. We will keep you informed.
