Summary

The bill adds new rules for blind or visually impaired students in Georgia’s public schools. Schools must evaluate each student’s need for Braille, include Braille instruction in the Individualized Education Program unless the evaluation shows it isn’t needed, and ensure textbooks are available in electronic formats that can be turned into Braille. It also sets new licensing requirements for teachers who work with visually impaired students.
