The bill mandates that each school district in South Dakota must conduct dyslexia screenings for students who show potential indicators or risk factors associated with dyslexia. If a screening reveals that a student exhibits characteristics of dyslexia, the school district is required to provide appropriate, evidence-based intervention strategies tailored to the student's age.
Additionally, the South Dakota Board of Education Standards is tasked with creating rules to establish guidelines for dyslexia programs. These guidelines will assist educators and parents in identifying and assessing students with dyslexia, determining suitable educational services, and recognizing potential indicators or risk factors for the condition.
