WHEREAS, In her work as the founder of the Dyslexia School of
Houston, Tammy Spencer has dedicated herself to providing quality
service to students with dyslexia; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Spencer is a veteran educator and most recently
served as an administrator overseeing dyslexia services at the
Houston Independent School District; she launched the Dyslexia
School in September 2020, at a time when schools were turning to
online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, which further
exacerbated the challenges faced by many students with learning
disabilities; initially, she operated the school from a garage
apartment at her home; and
WHEREAS, The Dyslexia School relocated to a nearby building
in West University Place, and today, enrollment has grown to
include more than 50 students; in addition to dyslexia screening
and assessment, the school offers half-day sessions for students
ages 4 to 15 to supplement their learning; the school aims to
provide a strong foundation for reading in a nurturing environment,
and each student receives an individual education plan that allows
them to learn at their own pace; and
WHEREAS, Through her leadership, expertise, and commitment
to excellence, Tammy Spencer has made a meaningful difference in
the lives of countless young Texans with dyslexia, and she is indeed
deserving of recognition for her accomplishments in this crucial
endeavor; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Tammy Spencer for her accomplishments as
the founder of the Dyslexia School of Houston and extend to her
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Spencer as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
