This bill establishes programs aimed at addressing the needs of toddlers and children aged three to five who are deaf or hard of hearing, along with their parents or guardians. For toddlers under three, the early intervention program will conduct activities that include biannual meetings between the toddler, their parent or guardian, and a language team until the toddler's language development meets established benchmarks. Additionally, parents or guardians will be paired with a mentor who is deaf or hard of hearing, providing guidance and support in the child's language development. Each eligible toddler will be automatically enrolled in these services unless the parent or guardian opts out.

For children aged three to five who have previously received early intervention services, the Department of Education will provide similar support, allowing participation until the child enters kindergarten. The bill outlines the composition of the language team, which includes a pediatric audiologist, a teacher of the deaf or hard of hearing, a deaf mentor, and a speech and language pathologist. The bill mandates the adoption of necessary rules and regulations by the Commissioners of Health and Education to implement these provisions, with an effective date set for 90 days after enactment.
