Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal states that the head of an educational institution must identify children who may have learning disabilities. A child from a family of limited economic means who meets criteria the minister will set (economic, social and environmental conditions) will be entitled to a free diagnosis by a recognized diagnostician. The results of the diagnosis will be passed on to the parents and to the educational institution. The minister, in consultation with the Minister of Welfare, will set the eligibility criteria, and the one in charge of implementing the law will be able to enact regulations with the consent of the Knesset Education Committee.
