[IABS-Talk] New Illinois law provides access to online educational resources for students with disabilities

[Bill Reif]

Hello,

The NFB I legislative committee reviewed the law mentioned in this article. We believe it is largely designed to promote the products of a specific company, and offers less general protection than does section 508 of the rehab act and the Americans with disabilities act. With that said, we support the governor‘s stated commitment to inclusion of students with disabilities in the learning process. Let’s hope that commitment is applied beyond the narrow provisions of the law referenced in this article

Cordially,
Bill Reif
