Pennsylvania SB663 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Health and an expert organization, to create a model curriculum and guidelines for deaf and hard of hearing education. This curriculum must be age-appropriate, regularly updated, and cover topics such as hearing loss types, causes, and prevention techniques. It will be posted on the department's website and made available to all school entities.
