1 in 5 students have dyslexia, but with early screening & the right support, they don’t have to fall behind. Early identification gives children the chance & the tools to learn, grow, and believe in themselves.”

Dyslexia is a common learning disorder affecting about one in five individuals. Early intervention can help mitigate academic challenges associated with dyslexia by providing tailored educational strategies and support systems for affected students.
Senator Bill Cassidy has previously advocated for legislation aimed at improving literacy outcomes and supporting students with learning disabilities through increased access to resources and screenings.
