Introduced

Summary

National Dyslexia Awareness Month would be designated for October 2025 to highlight dyslexia's educational implications and push for early screening and evidence-based supports.

Show full summary
  • Families: Would see more public attention on early screening and diagnosis, helping children access focused, evidence-based reading interventions and classroom accommodations.
  • Students with dyslexia: Affecting as many as 1 in 5 people and 80 to 90 percent of those with learning disabilities, they would get more emphasis on supports to close reading gaps that often appear by first grade.
  • Schools and policymakers: State and local educational agencies and Congress would be urged to recognize dyslexia's impacts and align screening and supports with the statutory definition from the First Step Act.
