A resolution expressing support for the designation of October 2026 as "National Dyslexia Awareness Month".

Would designate October 2026 as “National Dyslexia Awareness Month” to spotlight dyslexia and its educational consequences. The resolution defines dyslexia as an unexpected reading difficulty caused mainly by a phonological processing deficit and anchors that definition to the First Step Act and 18 U.S.C. 3635. It notes dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting 80 to 90 percent of people with a learning disability and as many as one in five individuals. It emphasizes early screening and evidence-based interventions to improve reading, self-awareness, and access to accommodations, and it calls on Congress, schools, and state and local education agencies to recognize and address dyslexia.
