A few DDNY members got together and started the charity Dyslexia Advocacy Action Group. We advocate for students who are not getting their needs met at their school districts, have resources for independent educational evaluations, and legal counsel.
Furthermore, we run free workshops on a range of topics including advocacy in New York, and IEP goals. At the heart of our BOE campaign, we want to encourage parents to speak-up at their local school district board education meetings by providing all the materials (3-minute testimony, brochure and slides). In addition you can purchase our $30 advocacy t-shirt (all profits go to advocating for underprivileged children), and send the message to BOE members about effective approaches to teach reading, and that reading is not guessing at unknown words!
Please join us and help us campaign to turn New York's horrible failure to teach reading (this includes failing general education students too). Let's hold NYSED accountable, join our class action lawsuit!
