2025-26 Policy Agenda
Every new Congress brings an opportunity to advocate for policies that support individuals with learning disabilities and attention issues. At the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), we develop a federal policy agenda that focuses on advancing key issues, addressing barriers, and promoting equitable opportunities.
Our agenda is informed by research, data, and the lived experiences of our community—including students, families, educators, and advocates. By listening to those most impacted and analyzing current challenges, we ensure that our priorities reflect the needs of the neurodivergent community.
Through this agenda, we work to influence legislation, strengthen protections, and promote policies that expand access to education, employment, and essential services. Our goal is to create meaningful, lasting change that empowers individuals with learning disabilities to thrive.
