Children with dyslexia are academically disadvantaged because struggles related to reading difficulties may cause schools to not allow them to continue in their education despite possessing otherwise sufficient cognitive and academic ability due to Arizona’s “Move on When Reading” law, which places hard requirements on reading ability by grade level. Arizona state lawmaker Havasu Ward has proposed adding dyslexia to the list of disabilities that exempt a child from these restrictions because dyslexic children benefit more from allowing continuing with their peers, and an additional measure to encourage teachers to seek training in helping dyslexic children.
