"And I talked to a lot of these upper-class white families who were able to take their kids out and send them to private school. I couldn’t afford to do that. But those kids are doing well now, and they’re able to go to college. And we didn’t have the opportunity."  Pamela Guest, parent and Decoding Dyslexia MD State Leader in APM Report on Dyslexia

Pamela Guest, a state leader for Decoding Dyslexia Maryland, and her son Dayne, were recently featured in a documentary by APM Reports on dyslexia.  The documentary features an in depth podcast on dyslexia and the problems parents and students face in Maryland public schools.  Interviews are conducted with Baltimore County Public Schools officials and their responses to questions about dyslexia identification and interventions point to a change in efforts to help students with dyslexia in the school system.

"Rebecca Rider and Megan Shay are both relatively new to their positions. And they acknowledge the school system has a problem when it comes to kids with dyslexia. It’s something they say they’re beginning to fix. We need to do better."
Baltimore County Public Schools, excerpted from the full transcript

Please listen to the podcast, read the articles and watch the videos.  This is a very thorough evaluation of the problems and solutions that exist today.  If you have a comment on the podcast or article, APM reports would like to hear from you.  Links to all of the documentary parts are listed below.
