Dyslexia Testing Amendments

Summary

The bill mandates that Utah school districts and charter schools administer state‑approved reading benchmark tests for early grades, report results to parents, and provide individualized intervention when a student shows signs of dyslexia or reading difficulty. It also defines who may conduct a qualifying dyslexia assessment and shields teachers who suggest screenings from retaliation. The changes align mental‑health professional scopes with diagnostic standards and ensure special‑education eligibility follows federal rules.
