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.

    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.
