Colorado has taken a significant step to support students with dyslexia by enacting a new law requiring universal screenings in all schools starting in the 2027-28 school year. This landmark legislation, signed by Governor Jared Polis, aims to identify the most common learning disability early, ensuring affected children receive the necessary interventions to thrive academically. The bill garnered strong bipartisan support, with several lawmakers sharing personal connections to dyslexia, highlighting the profound impact early detection and support can have on a child's educational journey and well-being. This initiative builds on Colorado's ongoing efforts to enhance reading proficiency statewide.
