H.R. No. 335
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Academic Language Therapy
Association and its Texas chapter are gathering at the State
Capitol on February 4, 2015, to commemorate Dyslexia Awareness Day;
and
WHEREAS, A national organization headquartered in Dallas,
ALTA was founded in 1986 to promote high standards of education,
practice, and professionalism in the delivery of services to
students with dyslexia and related disorders; the group's
membership includes licensed dyslexia therapists and
practitioners, along with parents and educators; and
WHEREAS, One in five students has a language-based
disability, and dyslexia is the most common of these disabilities;
across Texas, public school district identification of students
with dyslexia varies widely, from almost 17 percent in some schools
to about 0.2 percent in others, according to 2014 Public Education
Information Management System data; a 2000 study by The University
of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston--Texas Department of Criminal
Justice Hospital found dyslexia among 48 percent of the state's
prison population; and
WHEREAS, Dyslexia and related disorders are far from
uncommon, but although their impact can be extensive, professional
help and support can ensure that they provide no barrier to
achievement; through the dedicated efforts of its members, the
Academic Language Therapy Association is making a lasting, positive
difference in the lives of countless young people, and it is indeed
appropriate to recognize this noteworthy organization at this time;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 4, 2015, as Dyslexia
Awareness Day and honor the Academic Language Therapy Association
and Texas ALTA on this occasion.
