We need to unleash the intelligence of people with dyslexia, like Einstein, da Vinci, Carol Greider, and John Chambers.

I have a personal connection with dyslexia since my niece is dyslexic.

The purpose of the caucus is to educate other Members of Congress and advance policies, to break down barriers faced by dyslexics.

It is our hope hearing the depth and breadth of the scientific knowledge of dyslexia will alert policymakers to act and to act with a sense of urgency.

Over 80 members of Congress have joined the bipartisan Congressional Dyslexia Caucus co-chaired by Rep. Bill Cassidy and Science Committee member Julia Brownley.

I firmly believe by raising awareness of dyslexia we can change the way we educate our children and assist millions of children to get onto the pathway of success.

We need more schools to embrace and replicate this model so that students can achieve their fullest potential.

Resolution 456 submitted by Representative Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Representative Brownley provides an up-to-date universal definition of dyslexia.
