How to be an Advocate * The Yale Center For Dyslexia & Creativity

You can help change policy!
The best way to affect change is to send an email to policymakers and have your voice heard!

What makes an effective email:

The best letter is where you, in your own words, say that dyslexia deserves specific mention and protection under the ADA.

Also, mention that you are a friend or constituent of the congressperson or senator to whom the email is addressed (see contact info below).

The letter need not be long; in fact it is better if you stick to a short, one-paragraph note.

Please consider cc'ing The Yale Center for Dyslexia when you compose your email. We are eager to be united in our efforts.
