Subject: | Proposed Resolution: Dyslexia Awareness Month |
I am re-introducing a resolution designating October 2014 as Dyslexia Awareness Month in Pennsylvania. Dyslexia is a severe difficulty in understanding or using one or more areas of language, including listening, speaking, reading, writing and spelling. This learning disability impairs an estimated 15% of children in the United States. My resolution will recognize October 2014 as Dyslexia Awareness Month in Pennsylvania in order to foster greater understanding of this learning disability and the techniques that help children and adults overcome it, and to commend those organizations that provide services to children with dyslexia, helping them reach their full potential. If you have any questions on this legislation, please contact Connie McClure in my Harrisburg office at 705-7170 or by e-mailing cmcclure@pahousegop.com. Thank you for your consideration and support of this very important piece of legislation. |
Introduced as HR1015
