Exceptional children; authorize public school districts to provide sensory rooms and equipment.
SB 2233 requires Mississippi public school districts to provide sensory rooms or equipment when a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan identifies a need for such accommodations to ensure access to education. It directly affects students with neurodevelopmental or psychiatric conditions like autism, ADHD, anxiety, or mood disorders, as defined in the bill. The key provision mandates districts to use "best practices" to design and maintain these sensory spaces, aligning with existing special education requirements under federal law. The bill does not change funding mechanisms but clarifies that sensory accommodations are a required service when specified in a student’s plan.
