THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District
BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K. -

First, we will take this opportunity to reiterate our strong support for the PAVE-NY and BRIDGE-NY programs enacted as part of the 2016-17 state budget. These initiatives have provided invaluable funding for additional road paving, and bridge and culvert work for both the state and local systems, and we will look forward to their continuation this year and in future years. Nevertheless, as we continue to address the sustainable future of New York’s locally maintained transportation infrastructure, we must once again highlight the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS), which as you know makes the key difference for so many local communities, economies, governments, motorists, and taxpayers throughout the state. -

Legislative Discussion
The Current Status of the scope restriction on behavior analysis in NY: Why Everyone Should Care Debbi Napolitano, NYSABA Legislative Committee Chair History Matters In the Beginning The writing was on the wall. Licensure was becoming necessary, but we were not successful In collaboration with Autism Speaks we got autism insurance passed. Autism insurance included BCBAs NY said too bad….. Joe Morelle got us a license, but couldn’t get a license that wasn’t restricted We debated scrapping it, knowing it would be a disaster, but we knew it was happening whether we wanted it or not, to fix the insurance. SOME Problems with a Field Restricted to Autism Students trained ONLY to work with individuals with autism Difficulty for students to accrue hours VERY difficult to become licensed when moving to NY even if licensed in another state Individuals Without Autism Cannot Access Services: Meet Micah In our recent survey, 48% (42 respondents) stated they know someone who cannot get services It Is Hurting Individuals with Autism and Our Field The Rest of the Country What is the Difference Between the Licensing Statute and the Regulations First a law is passed. Besides the word “autism” and ”prescription” our scope in statute is pretty good. Regulation is what is developed by the State Education Department (SED) Higher Education with “advisement” from the Licensing Board Regulations are in need of change but will not be changed until they have to be! Our Efforts Our Bills: A6389-A (Peoples-Stokes)/S4967-A (Skoufis) We have been working on this since the passage of the current license We are currently in the second year of a two-year session We have 5 months to get this over the finish line or we need to start again Bills and Sponsors Relates to the practice of applied behavior analysis; removes the requirement for a diagnosis from a person who is licensed or ➢ We have been working otherwise authorized to provide such diagnosis on this since the for persons with autism or related disorders.
