Bill overview
The Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act aims to improve special education and related services for children and youth who are blind or visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, deafdisabled, or deafblind. It requires states to better identify and evaluate these students, establish specific plans for their education, and ensure access to qualified personnel and specialized instruction. The bill also creates a center at the Department of Education to support visual disability education and addresses accountability for providing these services, particularly focusing on language access and inclusive learning environments.
