The resolution proposes an interim study to assess the educational opportunities and services available to deaf and hard of hearing elementary students in Nebraska. The study aims to evaluate several key areas, including the availability of trained teachers and support personnel, access to communication supports such as sign language interpretation and assistive technologies, early language and literacy development outcomes, coordination among educational entities and families, professional development for educators, and regional disparities in service availability, particularly in rural areas.

The Education Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study, which will involve gathering input from various stakeholders, including parents, educators, and specialists in deaf education. Upon completion of the study, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature.
