President Donald Trump has been criticized by experts for suggesting that dyslexia makes someone unfit to lead and run the nation. This comes after he criticised California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for being open about his diagnosis and suggested that he cannot become the president due to his "learning disability". Dyslexia is the most common neurocognitive disorder and affects roughly one in five people. Michelle Qazi, president of the Academic Language Therapy Association (ALTA), disagrees that dysraxia does not equate to a "low-IQ" comparison. She said that students with dyslexic learn to read the same way as everyone else. The comments contrast to years of bipartisan legislative efforts, with Newsom approving Assembly Bill 1454 to change how reading is taught in California schools.
