Mississippi HB950 would reimburse parents and school districts for comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations that diagnose dyslexia.
Mississippi HB950 amends the Mississippi Code to ensure that parents and school districts can be reimbursed for comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations that diagnose dyslexia. The bill requires local school districts to screen compulsory-school-age children for dyslexia and mandates that schools accept the results of subsequent evaluations performed by licensed professionals. If a school district fails to accept a dyslexia diagnosis from a subsequent evaluation, it will be fined by the State Department of Education.
