Abstract: Abstract:As a common neurodevelopmental disorder, dyslexia causes a series of adverse outcomes throughout the lifespan, while the public is less aware to it. This review aims to provide experiences for completing domestic policies, as well as to improve the understanding of dyslexia of the public in China by introducing some public health policies, interventions, and special service organizations and the associations related to dyslexia domestic and overseas. The information discussed in this article may serve as a useful model developing or revising policies or guidelines for meeting the needs of children with dyslexia.
