Sign the Petition to Support the Dyslexia Task Force Act!

My Dyslexia Task Force Act, A.2185-B/S.441-C, passed the Assembly and Senate! 

The bill will establish a statewide task force to examine appropriate and effective evidence-based screening, intervention, and support for students with and at risk of dyslexia and dysgraphia. This is the result of years of work and advocacy and represents the first major piece of legislation focused on dyslexia screening, curriculum, and teacher training that has ever passed in New York, so let's make sure the Senate passes this bill!

This legislation will mandate the Commissioner of the State Education Department to create a task force of educators, doctors, researchers, parents and advocates to examine and recommend the appropriate and evidence based screening methods, curriculum changes and teacher training that should be implemented for all students in kindergarten through 5th grade with dyslexia and dysgraphia.

Sign the petition to let the Governor know she should sign it into law!

    This should have been done decades ago. Thousands of kids have gone under served because the NYC Board of Education does not provide proper screening and diagnosis for dyslexia. My family has spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on outside testing and private schools that really help my son who has dyslexia (reading), dysgraphia (writing) and dyscalcula (math). I hope this effort will allow all those kids out there whose families don’t have the means to get them the private education they need to succeed to have an amazingly positive school experience and help them to have productive and happy lives.
