Laws/Regulations

Per Section 10-14t(a) of the Connecticut General Statutes, all public school districts (e.g., local and regional boards of education, regional educational service centers, Approved Private Special Education Programs (APSEPs),and charter schools) serving students in Kindergarten to Grade 3, inclusive, must select and administer an assessment from the Approved Menu of Research-based Grades K-3 Literacy Universal Screening Assessments. Administering a set of screening measures in the primary grades helps identify students who are at risk for reading difficulties and require intervention, and assists in identifying, in whole or in part, students at risk for dyslexia, or other reading-related learning disabilities.
