Bill > S0236

This bill revises the definition of "exceptional student" to include additional students with developmental delays, expanding the age range from birth through 5 years to birth through 9 years or through the student's completion of grade 2, whichever occurs first. The bill also amends the rules for the identification of established conditions for children birth through 2 years of age and developmental delays for children birth through 9 years of age or through the student's completion of grade 2, whichever occurs first. The bill aims to ensure that more children with developmental delays have access to special education programs and related services.
