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.
