2021 Legislative Session
Decoding Dyslexia Virginia chooses one day a year, during the current legislative session, to come together in Richmond to visit legislators in their offices to educate them on dyslexia by sharing our stories in order to direct their attention toward students with dyslexia in Virginia. We share resources and ask them to support our dyslexia legislation.

Dyslexia Legislation Support
Contact Your Senate and House Representatives
Call and/or email your delegate and your senator to let them know that dyslexia is important to your family and you would like them 'co-sponsor our bills and vote YEA when the time comes'. Attach a copy of the DDVA Mission Statement and your family's story (if you have it summarized).
