  • Title: An unlikely advocate: the role of the school nurse with children who have dyslexia.
    Author: DeBrew JK.
    Journal: NASN Sch Nurse; 2014 Mar; 29(2):60-2. PubMed ID: 24707652.
    Abstract:
    School nurses are often the first line of advocacy for children when problems arise. One common learning disability, dyslexia, requires advocacy from the school nurse. However, due to lack of knowledge, misunderstandings, and misconceptions about the disorder, the school nurse may feel inadequate in an advocacy role. This article describes dyslexia, including warning signs, so that school nurses can be better prepared to assess for signs, provide intervention, and advocate for struggling children and families.
