a grassroots movement driven by Utah families concerned with the limited access to educational interventions for dyslexia in our public schools. We aim to raise dyslexia awareness, empower families to support their children and inform policy-makers on best practices to identify, remediate and support students with dyslexia in Utah public schools. Decoding Dyslexia Utah is a 501.3.c non-profit.
We advocate for all students with the Utah State School Board and Utah Legislature by sharing our stories and working for better reading outcomes. We also advocate for students with dyslexia at local school districts and schools and help Utah Families advocate for their children to receive help in learning to read.
We provide scholarships to students with dyslexia who cannot afford an Orton-Gillingham trained tutor for reading intervention. We also offer scholarships to Utah educators for Orton-Gillingham training at a reduced cost. In return, they tutor students in need with interventions for dyslexia.
We host the annual Wasatch Reading Summit Spring Seminar and Fall Conference to provide educators and parents access to national leaders in the science of reading and dyslexia.
DDUT Youth Advocates share their stories and experiences calling for better policy around dyslexia and mentor other students with dyslexia in advocating for themselves.
We hold informational and practical workshops for families and educators.
