Int 0349-2022 APublic Advocate Jumaane Williams Amended and Coupled on General OrdersDyslexia screening in city jails and referrals to evidence-based programs.IntroductionThis legislation would require the Department of Correction to screen and offer evidence-based interventions to individuals between 18 and 21 years old in custody who self-report that they do not have a high school diploma or its equivalent for dyslexia immediately.
