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.

early detection could help many children to reach their full potential but will also require a greater investment in resources so that children who qualify for services can receive them in a consistent and timely manner.

Thank you – this is desperately needed! Please continue to fight for children with learning differences!

As the mom of two very bright, dyslexic children, I think that all children deserve the best opportunities in life and that starts with education. Screening children at a young age is the best way to ensure that they receive appropriate interventions during the most critical timeframe.
