House Resolution 456

WASHINGTON – Congressmen Bill Cassidy, Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Dyslexia Caucus, submitted a resolution urging the House of Representatives to call on schools and state and local educational agencies to address the implications that dyslexia has on students. Dr. Cassidy released the following statement:

 “Dyslexia affects millions of Americans, including many students. We know that many with dyslexia are among our brightest and most successful. If dyslexia is identified in elementary school and the appropriate resources are given to these children, America can produce more teachers, more scientists and more entrepreneurs. This resolution pushes schools and educational agencies to address this challenge and provide evidence-based solutions for dyslexic students.”
