House Bill 96 clarifies the definition of learning disabilities in the Ohio Revised Code to specifically include dyslexia.
House Bill 96 also creates a pilot project at the Ohio Department of Education including one urban, one suburban, and one rural school district to forge a partnership with the local library system to provide early screening and intervention services for children. Existing funds within the Ohio Department of Education will be used to pay for these screenings, and the inclusion of libraries will help ease the financial burden on school districts.
Next Steps:
House Bill 96 goes to OH Governor John Kasich for his signature.
