Abstract

Why this matters
Bills named for Helen Keller historically concern services for students who are deaf, blind, or deafblind, an area already touched by the Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act in this vault. Until the bill text becomes available, its scope and whether it affects IDEA services, teacher preparation, or standalone programs remains unknown. Tracking the committee referral establishes a baseline for monitoring any markup or text release.
