AB 784
AB 784 establishes specialized deaf and hard-of-hearing services within California special education to ensure students receive culturally and linguistically appropriate instruction and support.
AB 784 establishes or modifies specialized services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students within California's special education framework. The bill was unanimously passed by the Senate and signed into law by the Governor in July 2025, indicating broad legislative support for expanding educational accommodations for this student population.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing students often require specialized instruction in sign language, audiology services, and culturally responsive education that standard special education programs may not provide. This legislation ensures California's education system develops dedicated resources and services to meet these students' unique linguistic and developmental needs, potentially improving academic outcomes and social integration.
