Dyslexia Awareness Month.
My first bill ever signed into law was in 2014 to create the Dyslexia Screening and Early Literacy Intervention Program. As a longtime advocate for Dyslexia awareness, I want to remind everyone that dyslexia is so much more than "reversing letters." It’s a unique, resilient way of processing the world.
