Updated rules for special education eligibility

The law updates who counts as a student with a disability for special education. A student must be at least 3 years old. They remain eligible if they turn 21 on or after August 1 in that year. They must need special education and related services due to one or more listed disabilities. These include intellectual, hearing (including deafness), deaf-blindness, speech or language, vision (including blindness), emotional, orthopedic, autism, traumatic brain injury, other health, or a specific learning disability. Schools use this definition to decide eligibility and services.
