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.
