S 3010 amends IDEA to add an official definition of dyslexia as unexpected reading difficulty despite adequate intelligence, usually due to trouble processing spoken language sounds. It updates related sections so dyslexia is clearly recognized alongside other learning disabilities, and requires equal access to accommodations and services for all eligible children regardless of income, socioeconomic status, or English proficiency.
Public school students with dyslexia or reading-related learning disabilities and their parents are directly affected, along with teachers, special education staff, and school administrators who implement evaluations and support.
Schools would need to follow the updated definition and rules when evaluating students and deciding on accommodations, changing how dyslexia is identified and addressed, particularly for low-income and English-learner students.
