One in five students is dyslexic. 50% of 4th Graders are not reading on grade level. Only seven states nationwide evaluate all Kindergarten and 1st Graders for Dyslexia and as a consequence so many of our students go undiagnosed.
Join Brooke Lyn and me and sign our petition to call on the Governor, Mayor, Chancellor & Legislature to make New York the eighth state to universally screen all Kindergartners for dyslexia and to work together to dedicate the resources necessary to ensure that all of our children who struggle with dyslexia and other learning differences get the quality education that they deserve.

Her father and I are working people, we have worked hard and long for the State of New York. We have paid our taxes, we have made businesses successful, we have done our part. And in return, the State and City are WILLFULLY failing our child. Condemning our child to a lifetime of illiteracy, dependency and tormenting our family. Every. Single. Day.
My child has been diagnosed with “textbook” dyslexia by a DOE Clinical Neuropsychologist. We have thousands of providers who can treat her and the other 20% of children who present with Dyslexia. We have methods that could correct Dyslexia NOW. Our school system is one of the most well funded in the entire country. Open your eyes!
This is wrong. THIS is what evil looks like.
Help us! Help these children!
What good is the knowledge you will not use!
What good is the money you will not spend!
What good is a city where 1 in 5 children are condemned to illiteracy before they even begin school!
