Establishes "Students with Communication Disabilities' Bill of Rights."

New Jersey's A5055, the "Students with Communication Disabilities' Bill of Rights," requires school districts to ensure students with communication disabilities (such as those with hearing, vision, or speech impairments) can fully participate in education using their preferred communication methods. Key provisions mandate schools to provide trained communication assistants familiar with each student's primary method (like sign language, AAC devices, or speech-generating tools), include communication plans in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans, and offer early screenings and ongoing assessments of communication needs. The law also ensures students have full access to all school activities - including extracurriculars, lunch, and announcements - using their preferred communication method. The bill clarifies it does not expand rights beyond existing federal protections under the ADA, IDEA, and Section 504.
