This resolution urges Congress, schools, and State and local educational agencies to acknowledge the significant educational implications of dyslexia that require attention. It also formally designates October 2025 as "National Dyslexia Awareness Month" to foster greater understanding and support. The resolution highlights that dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting as many as one in five individuals, characterized by unexpected reading difficulties despite intelligence, often stemming from phonological processing issues. It emphasizes the critical importance of early screening and diagnosis to ensure individuals receive focused, evidence-based interventions and necessary accommodations for academic and life success.
