With his family’s support, Forsyth County teenager, Payne Auchmuty, who was diagnosed with dyslexia in fourth grade, has taken his and others future into his own hands. He is directly responsible for a new bill, HB 149, that would offer teachers more training on how to teach students with the learning challenge.

Advocates are constantly working for equality for those that struggle.

Tired of hearing from teachers that he was lazy or was not putting in enough effort with regard to his work, he decided to forge a legal path to improve learning conditions for students with the issue. Auchmuty urged local lawmakers to adopt a bill to improve educational environments for dyslexics, and they wrote one. The house and Senate approve the bill, if the governor signs it, it’ll become a law.
