dyslexia industrial complex

Increased awareness has propelled movements like the Science of Reading, forcing schools to take literacy instruction more seriously despite decades of misunderstanding surrounding dyslexia. Current data shows low proficiency rates for fourth graders (NAEP 2024), indicating a major implementation gap that gives rise to what is called the dyslexia industrial complex. This complexity causes public education to become increasingly dependent on external systems and private providers rather than building internal school capacity.
