Education - Public School Students - Recognition of External Diagnosis of Autism
Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill tells Maryland public schools to accept an autism diagnosis from certain qualified professionals until the school finishes its own assessment. Schools must start that assessment within 30 days of getting the diagnosis and parent consent, and must give the student the supports recommended in the diagnosis during the evaluation. This ensures students receive timely help while the school determines their needs.
