Bill > SB1694

This bill amends the Texas Education Code to redefine "specially designed instruction" and "specific learning disability" in the context of special education services provided by school districts. The bill expands the definition of "specially designed instruction" to include adaptations to the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to address the unique needs of students with disabilities and ensure their access to the required curriculum. It also provides a definition for "specific learning disability" as a disorder in basic psychological processes that can manifest in various academic difficulties. The bill further updates references to "special services" and "specially designed instruction" throughout the code to reflect these definitional changes.
