I know it's private by jeez. We have to meet NCLB but parents are out there doing meth and stuff like CRAZY during pregnancy. Help us out. It's a REAL problem.

I support bill ONLY if literacy includes researched dyslexia intervention

If the literacy program isn't good enough, dyslexics will not be successful and will NOT be able to meet the GPA requirements.

Now look closely at the fast track literacy program. Is is effective and efficient? Could it be moreso? Try the Susan Barton Tutoring System. Talk to the Michigan Dyslexia Association president. What would THEY like to see in that literacy program?

I completely support this bill.

Grand Rapids Masonic Learning Center has a great dyslexia center you might look at as well.

This tutoring program works with adults, welfare should try it:)

Dyslexia means you see things backward. She can't have dyslexia. The school tested her, and she didn't qualify for special education. He can read OK; he just can't spell. That's not dyslexia, is it? These are among the myths associated with dyslexia, according to bartonreading.com. What is true

2006 House Bill 6587 (Welfare reform package )

Votes Admin — Mon, 01 Jan 2001 05:00:00 GMT

Introduced in the House on September 20, 2006, to require welfare recipients to sign a "family self-sufficiency plan" outlining their responsibilities under work and training requirements, explaining the contractual nature of assistance, and that the focus of the cash benefits is the goal of attaining self-sufficiency. Current law requires the execution of a "social contract" but does not emphasize a listing of responsibilities and the contractual nature of the plan. Also, to require the Department of Human Services to complete a thorough assessment of each recipient in creating the "self sufficiency plan" that includes consideration of referral to a life skills program, and a determination as to whether adult family members should be exempt from work requirements

The vote was 64 in favor, 39 opposed and 7 not voting
