Bill overview
This bill updates New Jersey’s laws regarding speech-language services within the special education system. It clarifies that a speech-language specialist must be part of the basic child study team when a student has a communication impairment or is eligible for speech-language services. The bill also streamlines the process for classifying students with communication impairments, requiring consultation with the child study team. Furthermore, it allows school districts to contract with private agencies for temporary speech-language services when they lack sufficient in-house staff.
