The Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act has been introduced
in the current Congressional session. It was introduced on October 23,
2019 on a bipartisan, bicameral basis by Representatives Matt Cartwright
(D-PA 08) and David McKinley (R-WV 01) and Senators Ed Markey (D-MA)
and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV).
Named for the first deaf student to be formally educated in the U.S.
and the beloved teacher of Helen Keller, respectively, the bill is designed to
enhance the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to better meet the
needs of students who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or
deafblind.
