Despite parents and educators being frequent consumers of education-related information on Pinterest, no studies to date have explored the accuracy of intervention information for dyslexia on Pinterest-linked web pages, meaning that the extent to which it aligns with evidence-based practice and the science of reading is unclear. This study reviewed online information about interventions for dyslexia from 41 Pinterest-linked web pages to evaluate accountability, presentation, alignment with evidence-based practice, and readability using a set of standardized criteria. The quality of intervention information was generally poor, with websites meeting less than 10% of the standardized criteria. Further, most information was published by unspecified authors or authors without formal experience providing evidence-based interventions for dyslexia. Most sites also neglected to reference their sources or recommend follow-up with a professional. These findings suggest that psychologists should be steering educators away from Pinterest as a resource and towards more reliable websites. Possibilities for future research, and practical implications for school psychologists are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08295735251387494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,15]],"date-time":"2025-10-15T06:38:23Z","timestamp":1760510303000},"page":"213-226","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pinning Down the Accuracy Gap: Assessing Intervention Information About Dyslexia on Pinterest-Linked Web Pages"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3073-1440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jared R.","family":"Green","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, NS, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3148-1452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krista C.","family":"Ritchie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, NS, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlotta","family":"Heymann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, NS, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tianna","family":"McCay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, NS, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0494-7851","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, NS, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cleaver S.
