A DOE official provides additional information about their efforts to address literacy needs across all disability classifications.
- 960 schools now have centrally funded intervention teachers focused on literacy instruction
- These teachers serve students with various disabilities, not just autism, as well as students without IEPs in some cases
- Nearly half of these intervention teachers work in schools with grades 6 through 12, addressing literacy needs of older students

Sorry.

I wanted to add one quick piece, if I may, on I don't want you to think or anyone to think that we have forgotten, or lost focus on students who have learning disabilities or any other disability classification other than autism.

And this year, in in a growing trend, we have 960 schools that have what's called a centrally funded intervention teacher whose sole focus is on addressing literacy, whether a student has autism or not or an IEP or not in some cases.

And there is a real focus on diagnostic literacy literacy instruction, and I believe almost half, if not more, of those working in schools with grades 6 through 12.

So for the older students as well.
