This bill establishes a three-year pilot program within the Department of Education (DOE) aimed at providing assistive technology and services to elementary and middle school students diagnosed with dyslexia and related conditions. The program's primary objectives are to deliver written material in accessible auditory or text-to-speech formats to help students read at grade level and to assist them in completing written assignments more effectively. The Commissioner of Education will allocate grants to selected pilot districts to cover the costs associated with acquiring the necessary assistive technology and services, as well as training teachers in their use.

To participate in the pilot program, school districts must submit an application detailing the number of students with dyslexia, their grade levels, reading abilities, and the specific assistive technology and services they plan to implement. The Commissioner will select seven districts from a diverse range of urban, suburban, and rural areas. At the end of the pilot program, the Commissioner is required to report to the Governor and the Legislature on various metrics, including student participation, reading abilities before and after the program, and recommendations for potential statewide implementation.
