Your Child Is Struggling… But Doesn't Qualify for Help

What happens when a child struggles with reading but doesn't qualify for additional support? In this clip from Learning Curve, hosts Erin Brantley and Ross Izard speak with Anna Libetta and Lindsay Dracos of CO Kid about how children with dyslexia can sometimes slip through the cracks of Colorado's education system. Some students develop strong vocabulary and other compensating skills that allow them to score above the threshold for a READ plan, even when they exhibit characteristics of dyslexia. This can leave parents without a clear understanding of why their child is struggling. The conversation explores how Colorado's new dyslexia screening requirements under SB25-200 aim to identify these students earlier and provide families with valuable information about their children's reading development. Because a child shouldn't have to fall further behind before their struggles are recognized. Learn more about CO Kid and its work to improve literacy outcomes in Colorado at https://cokid.org.
