A 2687 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a center for dyslexia and dysgraphia

This bill establishes a Center for Dyslexia and Dysgraphia within the state Department of Education. The center will define these learning differences, create a public guidebook for schools, set evidence-based screening standards for all K-5 students (and at-risk new students), and develop teacher training requirements. It directly affects schools, educators, and students with dyslexia or dysgraphia by mandating universal screenings, standardized interventions, and updated professional resources. The center must issue a biennial report on implementation progress and update the guidebook every five years after public review.
