 Introduced by M. of A. R. CARROLL, CUNNINGHAM, SEAWRIGHT, JENSEN, McMA-
 HON, DINOWITZ, WEPRIN, MEEKS -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing the "New
 York individuals with dyslexia education act" and implementing a plan
 to identify and support students with characteristics of dyslexia

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known as the "New York individuals with
 2 dyslexia education act".
 3 § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 926 to read
 4 as follows:
 5 § 926. Dyslexia education act. 1. As used in this section: a. "Dysle-
 6 xia" means a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in
 7 origin. Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or
 8 fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities.
 9 These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological
 10 component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other
 11 cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruc-
 12 tion. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehen-
 13 sion and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary
 14 and background knowledge. For the purposes of this section, dyslexia
 15 shall also include dysgraphia, a neurological and learning difference in
 16 which someone has difficulty writing for their age level.
 17 b. "Dyslexia screening" means a process, as determined by the school
 18 district, for gathering additional information to determine if the char-
 19 acteristics of dyslexia are present.
 20 c. "Multi-tiered system of support (MTSS)" means a framework for
 21 supporting and increasing academic, behavioral, and social emotional
 22 outcomes for all students.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 A. 37 2

 1 d. "Universal screener" means an assessment that is administered three
 2 times per year (beginning, middle, and end) to identify or predict
 3 students who may be at risk for poor reading outcomes and is typically
 4 brief and conducted with all students at a particular grade level.
 5 e. "Structured literacy" means an evidence-based approach to teaching
 6 oral and written language aligned to the science of reading. It is based
 7 on the science of how children learn to read and is characterized by
 8 explicit, systematic, cumulative, and diagnostic instruction in phonolo-
 9 gy, sound-symbol association, syllable instruction, morphology, syntax,
 10 and semantics.
 11 f. "Science of reading" means the large body of evidence that informs
 12 how proficient reading and writing develop; why some have difficulty;
 13 and how we can most effectively assess and teach and, therefore, improve
 14 student outcomes through prevention of and intervention for reading
 15 difficulties.
 16 g. "Dyslexia-specific intervention" means evidenced-based, specialized
 17 reading, writing, and spelling instruction that is multisensory in
 18 nature and equips students to simultaneously use multiple senses
