The General Assembly finds that:
(1) Dyslexia, if not diagnosed early, can be severely detrimental to a child's academic success as well as his or her self-esteem;
(2) Most children identified as having characteristics of dyslexia and related disorders can be treated successfully; and
(3) The cost of screening and treating dyslexia or a related disorder early is significantly less than the cost of intensive remediation in the later school years for a child with dyslexia or a related disorder.
