Bill > A06209

This bill requires each school district in New York to develop and implement specialized educational interventions for students diagnosed with dyslexia or other phonological learning differences or disabilities. Specifically, the bill mandates that school districts provide intervention services featuring a multi-sensory, sequential, phonics-based curriculum designed to address individual student needs. The required curriculum must include explicit, systematic instruction that follows a logical teaching plan, emphasizes reading comprehension, and is delivered either through individual instruction or in small groups of ten students or less. School districts are obligated to inform parents about these intervention services and must submit a detailed annual report to the state education department and Board of Regents by July 31st describing their specific curriculum and intervention approaches. The provision aims to ensure that students with dyslexia and related learning challenges receive targeted, specialized educational support tailored to their specific learning requirements, with the goal of improving their reading and comprehension skills.
