If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the individualized education programs (IEPs) for children with specific learning disabilities. The bill mandates that the IEP of any child identified as needing special education due to a specific learning disability must explicitly indicate whether the child has been diagnosed with dyslexia. This addition aims to ensure that dyslexia is recognized and addressed within the educational framework for children with disabilities.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language surrounding the delivery of specially designed instruction. It clarifies that special education personnel must be involved in the planning and delivery of this instruction when appropriate, enhancing the collaborative approach to meeting the educational needs of students. Overall, the bill seeks to improve the identification and support for children with dyslexia within the special education system while maintaining the existing provisions for special education services.
