Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder that affects a student’s ability to read because they have deficits in their overall phonological awareness skills. While federal and state legislation has been passed regarding dyslexia, awareness surrounding dyslexia is still very minimal. Educators, parents, and other school faculty members many times do not have a strong knowledge of dyslexia. Thus, students with dyslexia may not receive an education that is as equitable as their peers. This article discusses the federal and state legislation surrounding dyslexia, knowledge surrounding dyslexia, and the effects of the learning environment on students with dyslexia. Applying the principles discussed in this article will help create an environment in which dyslexic students receive equal and just treatment inside and outside of the classroom learning environment and help them to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.  \nKeywords  \nDyslexia, Equitable Treatment  \nCreative Commons License  \nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 4.0 License.  \nThis featured practitioner piece is available in Georgia Educational Researcher:  \n[https://digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/gerjournal/vol20/iss1/3](https://digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/gerjournal/vol20/iss1/3)  \nMy first year of teaching brought with it many challenges as I tried to navigate the best practices in which to teach my students and discovered the ways in which I was not adequately prepared for teaching. In my undergraduate degree program, I learned a great deal about different disabilities and the ways in which to accommodate and differentiate my instruction for students with these  \ndisabilities in my classroom. However, in my first few months of teaching, I  \nlearned that I knew very little about reading disabilities and how to best  \naccommodate students with reading disabilities. I was working with my  \nstruggling readers each day and doing every intervention that was provided by myschool system, but I was still not seeing growth in the area of reading with one of  \nmy students. It was then that I decided to conduct more research on my own.  \nThrough my research, I learned about dyslexia and its characteristics.  \nWhile I thought that dyslexia was mainly characterized by the reversal of letters,  \nthis is actually not a true determination of dyslexia. The research that I conducted  \non my own using peer reviewed journal articles and books like Overcoming  \nDyslexia by Sally Shaywitz allowed me to better understand dyslexia. Raschle, et  \nal.
