WE NEED YOUR HELP IN CONTACTING YOUR STATE SENATOR Please contact your Senator and let him or her know that you support House Bill 2847. This bill is to continue state licensure for Licensed Dyslexia Therapists (LDTs). This concerns the very professional standards that are required by the Academic Language Therapy Association (ALTA) in certifying Academic Language Therapists (CALTs). ALTA is the certifying organization for individual dyslexia practitioners and therapists. If this bill does not pass, lesser professional standards might be accepted for licensure. Higher standards are the ones that make a difference each and every day in the lives of our Shelton students. They are part of what distinguishes Shelton as the quality institution with our targeted expertise and specialization. Our students benefit greatly from this licensure.
It is our belief that if HB 2847 passes many doors will open. A high level of training will be expected. Insurance for dyslexia services will become a next step possibility. Those who are not highly trained, will seek more training. These are all good things for students and families.
HB 2847 passed the House on April 25, 2019 and now heads to the Senate. To find your representative, enter your address and follow the links to your representative's email and phone number.https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home.
