Dyslexia Therapy Scholarship for Students with Dyslexia; standardize reference to approved therapy training programs.

SB 2607 standardizes requirements for therapists providing dyslexia therapy under Mississippi's Dyslexia Therapy Scholarship Program. It defines "Department-approved Orton-Gillingham based dyslexia therapy training programs" as IMSLEC-accredited programs requiring 900 total hours of coursework and clinical practice, plus national certification. This affects students with dyslexia who receive scholarships and therapists seeking eligibility to provide services. The bill ensures only qualified therapists using evidence-based Orton-Gillingham methods can participate, clarifying program standards without changing scholarship funding or eligibility.
