HRES 821 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the recognition of October 2025 as "National Dyslexia Awareness Month".

This symbolic resolution (HRES 821) calls for recognizing October 2025 as "National Dyslexia Awareness Month" to highlight dyslexia's impact. It urges Congress, schools, and educational agencies to acknowledge dyslexia's educational challenges - defined as a learning disability affecting reading due to phonological processing issues - and support early screening and intervention. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise awareness about dyslexia, which affects 1 in 5 people and requires evidence-based support for academic success. It follows existing federal recognition of dyslexia in the First Step Act (2018) and emphasizes the need for accommodations to address the achievement gap.
