Dyslexia would be a standalone disability, ensuring equal support for all eligible students.
This bill would make dyslexia a distinct disability under federal education law, giving it its own definition. It would also make sure all eligible students, especially those from low-income families or who are learning English, get the same help and services.
Today, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) includes "specific learning disabilities" as a category for children needing special education services, with dyslexia listed as an example. This bill would change IDEA to explicitly include "dyslexia" as its own category with a specific definition. It would also require schools and other agencies to provide equal access to accommodations and services for all eligible children, specifically including those from low-income families, families with low socioeconomic status, and children who are limited English proficient.
