New Nebraska Dyslexia Resource for Families

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!

The Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) has released a new Dyslexia Implementation Guide to help school professionals identify dyslexia, understand assessment results, and plan appropriate reading interventions.

Although written for school professionals, the guide also offers helpful information for parents!

Here are a few important things families should know:

✅ Schools do not provide medical diagnoses of dyslexia, but they can identify characteristics of dyslexia and provide reading interventions without a medical diagnosis.

✅ Identifying characteristics of dyslexia does not automatically mean a child qualifies for an IEP. A special education evaluation is needed to determine eligibility.

✅ Students who do not qualify for an IEP may still need reading interventions, classroom supports, or accommodations.

✅ Evaluations should look at specific reading skills and individual needs, not just one test score.

✅ Reading instruction and interventions should be evidence-based and address the student's specific areas of difficulty.

Every child learns differently. With the right instruction, support, and encouragement, children with dyslexia can make progress and succeed!

We want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for PTI Nebraska’s 2026 Community Resource Fair! We loved seeing families connecting with organizations, asking questions, learning about available resources, and finding supports that may help their children and families.

We are especially grateful to all of the organizations, agencies, and community partners who hosted information tables and generously shared their time, knowledge, and resources. Your partnership helps connect Nebraska families with the information and support they need.

And an extra special thank you to our amazing interpreters who helped make the event more accessible and made it possible for families to connect with resource tables and receive information in both English and Spanish. We appreciate you so much!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success!

💜 This is what community looks like, and our hearts are full! 💜

Things are better when we do them together!!! 😊 🤝

Watch our short Did You Know video about special education evaluations.

Your child does NOT have to be failing before a special education evaluation can be considered. A child may be earning passing grades and still have a disability and educational needs that should be looked at.
