Sponsored By: Representative Brownley, Julia [D-CA-26]

Introduced

Summary

This resolution would support designating October 2026 as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month and call on state and local education agencies to continue meeting the needs of students with specific learning disabilities through a free appropriate public education. It cites that specific learning disabilities are the largest category under IDEA, affecting 32 percent of students served, notes NAEP data showing more than 96 percent of 4th and 8th graders with an SLD were not proficient in reading and more than 92 percent were not proficient in math in 2023–2024, and highlights larger achievement gaps for Black and Hispanic students.
