The main purpose of this legislation, known as the 21st Century Dyslexia Act, is to enhance the support and resources available for individuals with dyslexia within the framework of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The goal is to ensure that children with dyslexia receive the necessary accommodations and services to help them succeed in their education. Key provisions of the Act include a clearer definition of dyslexia, which is described as an unexpected difficulty in reading that occurs despite having the intelligence to read better.
