Overview
This bill, the 21st Century Dyslexia Act, changes how the law identifies and supports students with dyslexia. It removes dyslexia from the existing definition of specific learning disabilities and creates a separate definition specifically for dyslexia, focusing on difficulties with phonological processing. The bill also mandates that schools provide equal access to accommodations and services for students with dyslexia, particularly those from low-income families, low socioeconomic backgrounds, and those who are limited English proficient.
