Iowa AEAs debated as deaf education advocates push changes
Iowa lawmakers hear from deaf education advocates urging separate funding for deaf services inside AEAs. The discussion notes about 2,500 deaf children in Iowa, many with IEPs, and questions the governor's plan to centralize supervision, risking a more chaotic system. Local educators laud AEAs for early intervention, language access, and gifted programs while cautioning reform timelines. The Senate panel advances the bill with calls for further changes as House delays action.
