Have you heard about the Opioid Bill? There are several bills that are addressing the opioid regulations and bills for educational recognition of learning challenges with students within the educational system that are heading over to Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk for approval. This bill is known as the STOP Act and a plan of action to protect the people and economy that opioids are hurting.
Gov. Roy Cooper is expected to sign HB 149 into law. Learn about how it helps dyslexia education.
The opioid legislation is essential to America’s health.
This bill is making medical providers responsible for what they are prescribing by putting restrictions on the dispensing of opioid drugs. Opioid drugs include drugs like morphine and OxyContin that now require electronic prescription filing. Also, the bill indicates the need to identify students with learning challenges as soon as possible so that they have the best opportunities and most rewarding learning experience they can.
Key takeaways
- Governor Roy Cooper has signed several bills into law after they passed the State House and Senate chambers earlier.
- One bill is aimed at curbing the opioid epidemic, while another requires local and state school boards to develop tools for teaching students with learning differences such as dyslexia and dyscalculia.
- The bill aimed at students with learning differences would require all teachers to attend training, as well as make information and resources available online and make schools re-evaluate their tools for teaching such children.

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
