SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel is leading a measure to ensure children who are deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind have equitable, inclusive access to early literacy development.
“Every student’s needs are unique, and by ensuring language education is accessible, we can make sure that educational barriers don’t leave students without key skills,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “This measure guarantees that every child receives equitable access to language development.”
ROMEOVILLE – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel will conduct traveling office hours at the White Oak Library District on Tuesday, April 28 so residents can provide input and get questions answered.
“It is vital that I make my office accessible to residents for help getting their questions answered,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “Traveling office hours are one way for my office to make sure that my legislation betters the community and improves residents’ lives.”
SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel advanced a measure that would let paraprofessionals with a short-term approval license become fully licensed after their short-term license expires.
“Paraprofessionals do a lot to help teachers,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “They provide important assistance for students’ instruction, behavior and personal care under the guidance of teachers and administrators.”
SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel advanced a measure out of the Senate allowing people with autism to get a designated license plate, which would lead to safer traffic stops and law enforcement interactions.
“When an officer sees one of these plates, they can approach with greater understanding and compassion – turning what could be a stressful encounter into a safe one,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “This will give families with autism and neurodivergent loved ones more peace of mind.”
