More and more parents are being forced to seek independent evaluations in order for their children to get the proper services offered to them in the public school system. These independent evaluations can include testing from health care professionals, independently owned learning centers as well as other certified educational specialists. At the moment, these services are not being covered under the current health care system and parents are being forced to pay out of pocket, in some cases, several thousand dollars for just one assessment. Our mission is to ban together with parents from all over the country to push our major health care providers to categorize ALL learning disabilities as medical rather than educational, in an effort to get ALL services covered. We believe it will be very hard to ignore several hundred thousand parents who could potentially become new clients of whichever major provider chooses to do something about this growing problem. Please show your support and if you or anyone you know suffers from a learning disability such as Dyslexia or ADD/ADHD intervention, please sign and share! https://www.decodedlearningcenter.com

I am spending my afternoons compiling the stories you have sent me about the thousands of dollars spent on these assessments. Please email your health insurance provider today to formally demand they categorize learning disabilities as medical needs. Keep these stories coming so we have the hard evidence needed to approach the major insurers.

June 11, 2021

We hit a major milestone that proves these providers can no longer ignore the scale of our movement. Post this petition on Facebook today and tag your insurance company to demand they classify learning disability assessments as medical services.

ADD and Dyslexia are real medical issues. Insurance covers everything else why not this??

Totally agree. These companies take our premiums but refuse to cover anything that actually helps our children succeed. Fix this now.

My son had to wait two years for the school to test him. By then he was so far behind. Families shouldnt have to go broke just to get kids the help they need.

Dyslexia is a neurologically based disability
