AI Summary

This bill requires that all virtual instruction programs in Florida offer their online courses in formats that are accessible to students with disabilities, including those with visual, learning, or physical impairments. This means that these courses must be compatible with assistive technology products, which are tools that help individuals with disabilities perform tasks, and assistive listening systems, which amplify sound for those with hearing difficulties.
