HB1175EnactedEducation
define dyslexia for the purposes of special education and related services.
This bill adds a legal definition of dyslexia to South Dakota's special education laws, describing it as a neurological learning disability that affects word recognition, spelling, and decoding abilities. The definition clarifies that dyslexia stems from language processing difficulties and is not simply a result of poor instruction, which helps schools identify and serve students with this condition.
