H.Res. 793 is a symbolic resolution expressing support for designating October 2025 as "National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month." The resolution does not create new programs or provide funding; instead, it calls attention to learning disabilities, which affect approximately 32 percent of students receiving special education services under federal law. The resolution highlights concerning statistics, including that over 96 percent of fourth and eighth grade students with learning disabilities were not proficient in reading during the 2023-2024 school year, and notes that Black and Hispanic students with learning disabilities face even larger achievement gaps. The resolution encourages state and local school agencies to continue supporting students with learning disabilities through appropriate instruction, emphasizing that research shows these students can achieve at levels comparable to their peers when given proper support and evidence-based teaching methods.
