This House resolution expresses support for designating October 2026 as National Dyslexia Awareness Month. Dyslexia is defined as a common learning disability characterized by difficulties with reading despite normal intelligence, primarily caused by challenges in phonological processing. The resolution highlights that dyslexia affects a significant portion of the population—up to one in five individuals—and is the most prevalent learning disability. It acknowledges scientific progress in understanding dyslexia and emphasizes the importance of early screening and diagnosis to provide effective, evidence-based interventions. These interventions can help individuals with dyslexia improve reading skills, gain self-awareness, and receive necessary accommodations to succeed academically and in life. The resolution calls on Congress, schools, and educational agencies at all levels to recognize the educational challenges posed by dyslexia and to support awareness efforts during the designated month. While this resolution does not create new laws or funding, it aims to promote understanding and encourage actions that could improve educational outcomes for people with dyslexia.
