Brownley Introduces Resolution Recognizing October as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month

Washington, DC - Today, Congresswoman Julia Brownley (CA-26) announced the introduction of a resolution recognizing October 2025 as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month. Observed annually in October, National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month was established to raise public awareness of learning disabilities, promote early and accurate diagnoses, and encourage the provision of appropriate interventions and support to help individuals with learning disabilities achieve success in education and in life.

"I began my career in public service to ensure that individuals with learning disabilities, like my daughter who has dyslexia, have the resources and positive learning environments they need to live up to their fullest potential," said Congresswoman Brownley. "In recognizing October as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month, we are bringing much-needed awareness to the challenges people with learning disabilities face and, more importantly, reaffirming our commitment to providing them with the support they need to succeed."

This resolution brings awareness to the learning disabilities that impact millions of children and adults and reaffirms support through advocacy and education for all individuals affected by learning disabilities across the United States.

The resolution is endorsed by the National Center for Learning Disabilities, The Reading League, Council for Learning Disabilities, Association of Educational Therapists, Learning Disabilities Association of America, and Division for Learning Disabilities of the Council for Exceptional Children.
