S 5569 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a center for dyslexia and dysgraphia

This bill establishes a state center for dyslexia and dysgraphia within the Department of Education. The center will define these learning differences, set standards for universal screening of K-5 students (and at-risk students), develop evidence-based intervention guidelines, and create a public guidebook for schools. It directly affects students with dyslexia/dysgraphia, school districts, and educators by requiring standardized screening, support protocols, and professional development resources. The guidebook must cover definitions, screening procedures, classroom instruction, and parent communication, updated every five years after initial creation. The bill mandates annual screenings and requires schools to implement these evidence-based practices.
