21st Century Dyslexia Act

 
This bill addresses the education of children with disabilities, with a particular focus on children with dyslexia.
 
Currently, dyslexia is listed as one of the disabilities under the definition of 
specific learning disability
 in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This bill instead removes dyslexia from the definition of 
specific learning disability
 and establishes a stand-alone definition for 
dyslexia
 within the IDEA.
 
Specifically, the bill defines 
dyslexia
 for purposes of the IDEA as an unexpected difficulty in reading for an individual who has the intelligence to be a much better reader, most commonly caused by a difficulty in the phonological processing (the appreciation of the individual sounds of spoken language), which affects the ability of an individual to speak, read, and spell.
 
 Additionally, the bill requires a local educational agency or other agency, in determining eligibility for or providing an accommodation or service under the IDEA, to provide equal access to (1) children from low-income families, (2) children from families with low socioeconomic status, and (3) children who are limited English proficient.
