Dyslexia Petition - Robert Carroll Democrat for State Assembly 44th A.D.

Sign the Petition to Support the Dyslexia Diagnosis Access Act!

Let Governor Hochul know you support the Dyslexia Diagnosis Access Act!

My bill, the Dyslexia Diagnosis Act (A.2898/S.5481) passed both houses this legislative session and now will go to the Governor for her signature.

The bill mandates that private health insurance policies pay for neuropsychological exams for the purpose of diagnosing dyslexia. It is the first of its kind in the nation! The cost of these exams (between $6,000 - $10,000) are one of the major barriers to children getting a positive identification of the nature of their learning disability and therefore the services they need. By making such evaluations affordable, this legislation will change the lives of thousands of children and their families across New York State.

Children with Dylexia are very smart given the chance of early help and diagnosis.

My daughter was diagnosed Dyslexic and has struggled for years. For many of those she believed she was stupid, until we received her diagnosis. Now that we know how to help her, she no longer thinks this. If only there had been earlier screening and we knew sooner she would have never had to feel that way. We owe it to our children to find these diagnosis sooner and treat them sooner. Once kids get to 4th grade, it’s 4 times harder to remediate.

My granddaughter was diagnosed with dyslexia , she thought she was stupid before she was diagnosed…the relief on her face when she found out she wasn’t stupid brought tears to my eyes…we need early intervention for these children

YES! Screen the kids and get them into multi-sensory teaching, before the learning gap is created!
