Virginia School districts may soon have a point person to work with students with dyslexia. The new bill, known as HB2395, would require that every School District hire a dyslexia adviser. The consultant would not only be trained to identify the learning challenge, he or she would also be trained in how to teach students with it.

Legislation pending in the House of Delegates, and approved by House Appropriations Subcommittee on Elementary & Secondary Education Tuesday, would require every School Board to employ a dyslexia adviser.
