Bill > H4406

This bill proposes to amend existing law, specifically Section 1 of Chapter 287 of the Acts of 2012, to explicitly include the identification of reading disabilities, such as dyslexia, within the scope of assessments and to require action steps based on research-based recommendations for early language and literacy development concerning these disabilities. This means that when assessments are conducted, they will now specifically look for dyslexia, and a panel will be tasked with developing and implementing strategies to address reading disabilities, ensuring that input is sought from organizations representing families affected by dyslexia.
