Relating to required screenings for pediatric feeding disorder for students with certain disabilities and to the individualized education programs for certain public school students with pediatric feeding disorder.

SB 154 requires Texas public school districts to screen students with special education needs who have feeding or swallowing concerns for pediatric feeding disorder (defined as impaired oral intake not age-appropriate due to medical, nutritional, or psychological issues). If identified, schools must include a detailed "safe feeding and swallowing plan" in the student’s individualized education program (IEP), specifying support levels, feeding environment, dietary accommodations (including allergies and cultural restrictions), positioning, equipment, and emergency procedures. The plan must be developed by a team of qualified professionals, such as speech-language pathologists or dietitians. This applies to all affected students in public schools starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
