The impact of employment laws pertaining to individuals with learning disabilities in Canada and dyslexia in the UK were investigated via the extant research literature. Currently, there is very little research in this area despite Canada and the UK having laws in effect for decades. Surprisingly, their laws have been revamped despite an absence of data that measures impact and effectiveness. This finding is not unlike the Americans with Disabilities Act, reauthorized as the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments in 2008, without substantive research to guide legal policies and practices going forward. Investigation in this area is needed to seek the positive and negative effects of legislation on those with learning disabilities in Canada and dyslexia in the UK, a high incidence population that finds most employment opportunities in competitive employment.
通过现有研究文献，调查了加拿大和英国有关学习障碍和诵读困难者的就业法律的影响。尽管加拿大和英国的相关法律已经实施了几十年，但目前这方面的研究非常少。令人惊讶的是，尽管缺乏衡量影响和效果的数据，这些法律还是进行了修订。这一发现与 2008 年重新授权的《美国残疾人法案》修正案类似，没有实质性的研究来指导未来的法律政策和实践。需要对这一领域进行调查，以了解立法对加拿大学习障碍者和英国诵读困难者的积极和消极影响，这是一个高发病率群体，他们在竞争就业中找到了大多数就业机会。
