There will be some changes to the Federal law, according to the US Department of Justice (DOJ): The definition of learning difference has been modified towards broad interpretation by minimizing the amount of extensive evaluations given to individuals with difficulties. Some of these include writing, reading, and concentration as major body functions needing accommodations.
This is possibly a step in the right direction because accommodations and identification of learning difficulties for people is now more accessible than ever. The ADA regulations must be followed for evaluations of learning differences among children.
The revised language clarifies that the term disability shall be interpreted “broadly” and “applied without extensive analysis”. Minimizing the need for extensive evaluations that often cost thousands of dollars! This is intended to make it easier for an individual to establish that he or she has a disability.
