Summary: Dyslexia itself does not qualify for aid support time in British Columbia's schools. Of course, even if it did, there is the more serious question of the lack of the use of research-based programming for dyslexics (and other learning disabilities) in our schools. Even if other disabilities are present to qualify for aid time, most districts are keenly reluctant to train aids to fill these gaps. The reality is, most teachers are neither trained nor providing appropriate support for these children.
