Black students have historically experienced both overidentification in certain disability categories and underidentification for dyslexia, creating a complex and often mistrusted evaluation and intervention landscape. Structural barriers and special education practices continue to shape family trust, school hesitancy, and patterns of disproportionality. This session offers practical strategies for supporting Black and historically underserved students with dyslexia, responsibly addressing disproportionality, and building authentic, protective partnerships with families.
