Thanks to The Boston Globe for their continued reporting on special education and for the Beyond Kids Reading quote:

"Craig Horning, a Newton dad, founded in 2020 Beyond Kids Reading, a Needham-based nonprofit that helps families with struggling readers advocate for better services. The nonprofit hopes to empower parents early on with detailed neuropsychological and academic evaluations that they can take to their children’s schools.

With such diagnostic information, schools should be better equipped to support individual kids’ unique needs. To Horning, the method is akin to proactive health care.

“In the long term, it’s going to save the state money,” he said."
