Expressing support for the designation of October 2025 as "National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month".

The House resolution designates October 2025 as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month to draw attention to the high prevalence of specific learning disabilities among students served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It cites that 32 percent of special‑education students have a specific learning disability and that more than 96 percent of grade‑4 and grade‑8 students with such disabilities were not proficient in reading, while more than 92 percent were not proficient in math during the 2023‑2024 academic year. The resolution highlights that Black and Hispanic students with these disabilities face larger opportunity gaps than their White and Asian peers, underscoring the need for targeted support. It emphasizes that early, developmentally appropriate universal screening and evidence‑based instructional methods rooted in the science of reading can enable students to achieve on par with their peers. The House calls on state and local educational agencies to continue providing a free appropriate public education that meets the needs of students with specific learning disabilities.
