Bill overview
This bill, the 21st Century Dyslexia Act, amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to specifically recognize dyslexia as a distinct learning disability. It clarifies the definition of dyslexia, emphasizing it’s an unexpected difficulty in reading despite intelligence, often linked to phonological processing challenges. The bill also mandates that schools provide equal access to accommodations and services for students with dyslexia, particularly those from low-income families, families with low socioeconomic status, and those who are limited English proficient.
