21st Century Dyslexia Act
5 August 2026 | Reported by committee (Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, without amendment, without written report)
What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)
Summary: The bill would separate dyslexia from the broader category of learning disabilities in federal education law and create its own definition focused on unexpected reading difficulties caused by challenges processing sounds in language. It also aims to ensure that students from low-income families, economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with limited English proficiency have equal access to dyslexia-related services and accommodations in schools.
