Exploring Sources of Dyslexia Mis/information

The session will provide an overview of preservice teacher’s knowledge of dyslexia including misconceptions about the disability. Our goal is to explore sources of mis/information and how these sources integrate into ideas about what dyslexia is and is not. Results and implications for public policy and dissemination via social media will be discussed.
