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!

    My daughter is dyslexic. She is now 26 years old , when we drive past her elementary school she says this is where they tortured me. She was in 5th grade and still could not read. We had to send her out of the community to a school that could teach her how to read, as she was also so very fragile having failed, If not for the Windward intervention of Orten Gilligham phonics she would have never learned how to read. The school district knew in kindergarten she was dyslexic yet the invention she needed was not provided or available. Totally unnecessary to do to a human especially a child when we know the treatment.
