Establishes programs to address needs of toddlers and certain children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

This bill establishes mandatory early intervention programs for toddlers and children aged 3-5 who are deaf or hard of hearing, directly affecting these children and their parents or guardians. It requires two annual meetings with a language team (including a pediatric audiologist, teacher of the deaf, deaf mentor, and speech pathologist) until language development benchmarks are met, and pairs parents with trained deaf/hard of hearing mentors who share lived experience and support language development. Enrollment is automatic for eligible children with a parent/guardian opt-out option, covering toddlers until age three and older children until kindergarten entry. The program aims to support language acquisition through structured team meetings and peer mentorship, as defined in the bill's provisions.
