Abstract

This study explored the experiences of New Jersey speech-language pathologists (SLPs) as they support students with dyslexia in public schools. Given the state’s long-standing emphasis on dyslexia awareness and training, this research examined how contextual factors, collaboration, and professional preparation influence the roles of SLPs. Insights from interviews, journal reflections, and focus groups offer guidance for refining SLP practices, informing higher education curricula, and shaping policies to better support students with dyslexia.
