Requires screening and early intervention for dyslexia. Requires each school district to develop and implement a literacy professional development plan that includes structured literacy training by a licensed and accredited or credentialed teacher preparation provider for all elementary school teachers and for training in evidence-based reading intervention for reading interventionists and special education teachers working with students demonstrating characteristics of dyslexia or diagnosed with dyslexia.
Is there any specific information regarding how a student should be trained if diagnosed with dyslexia? Research indicates multi sensory eg OG reading approach. Thank you.
Mary, if you are asking what the New Mexico law would require, you can read the law here: https://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/19%20Regular/final/SB0398.pdf
The law requires that “each school district or charter school shall provide timely, appropriate, systematic, scientific, evidence-based interventions prescribed by the student assistance team, with progress monitoring to determine the student’s response or lack of response.” but does not specify what that intervention would be.
