• Senator Collins Introduces Special Educator from Maine at Dyslexia Roundtable (senate.gov) — A Union mother and special educator, Jessica Belvill, brought her family’s long struggle for proper dyslexia support in public schools directly to a U.S. Senate roundtable. She described years of delayed diagnosis, inadequate services, and emotional harm, urging stronger federal leadership so rural Maine students like her son can access early screening and evidence-based instruction.
