21st Century Dyslexia Act
This bill amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to formally define dyslexia as a specific learning disability. It adds a clear definition stating dyslexia involves unexpected reading difficulties due to phonological processing challenges, affecting students diagnosed with dyslexia. The bill also requires schools to provide equal access to accommodations and services for all eligible students, specifically including those from low-income families, low socioeconomic backgrounds, and limited English proficiency. These changes ensure dyslexia is explicitly recognized in federal education law and mandate equitable access to support for affected students.
