A resolution calling on Congress, schools, and State and local educational agencies to recognize the significant educational implications of dyslexia that must be addressed, and designating October 2023 as "National Dyslexia Awareness Month".
This resolution (SRES 427) calls on Congress, schools, and state/local educational agencies to acknowledge dyslexia's significant impact on learning and to address it. It designates October 2023 as "National Dyslexia Awareness Month" to promote recognition of dyslexia as a common learning disability affecting reading, spelling, and language processing. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but urges educational institutions to prioritize early screening and evidence-based interventions for students with dyslexia. It references the First Step Act's federal definition of dyslexia and emphasizes the need for early support to help affected individuals succeed.
