Including children with fetal alcohol syndrome disorder under the definition of other health impairment in the special education for exceptional children act.

HB 2203 amends Kansas special education law to include children with fetal alcohol syndrome disorder (FASD) under the definition of "other health impairment" in the Special Education for Exceptional Children Act. This change ensures children with FASD qualify for the same special education services, including individualized education programs (IEPs), that are currently available to children with other health impairments. The bill updates K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 72-3404 to explicitly add FASD to the list of qualifying conditions, removing previous exclusion. As a result, children with FASD in Kansas will now have access to necessary educational supports previously unavailable under the law.
