H.B. No. 2310 aims to enhance early learning and educational opportunities for young children with disabilities in Texas by mandating the development of a strategic plan. The Texas Education Agency, in collaboration with the Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Workforce Commission, is tasked with creating and implementing this plan. The plan will focus on strategies for the inclusion of children with disabilities in early childhood education settings, addressing existing barriers, and coordinating with various stakeholders, including state agencies and nonprofit organizations.

The strategic plan must include specific strategies for inclusion, a description of barriers, recommendations for necessary changes, and strategies to improve provider effectiveness and collaboration among educational and childcare services. The initial strategic plan is required to be published by September 1, 2026, and must be updated every four years. The bill emphasizes the importance of effective transitions for families and the leveraging of existing resources to support young children with disabilities.
