Fixing Special Education in Texas – Every Student Deserves to Succeed! 📚✨ 👩🏽‍🏫 Imagine this: A child with dyslexia struggling to read because their school doesn’t provide structured literacy programs… 💡 A non-verbal student with autism sitting in a classroom with no communication device… 📉 A child with ADHD getting disciplined instead of receiving support❌ This is NOT okay. Here’s what needs to change! ❌ 🔥 1. More Special Education Funding! 💰 Schools need resources for assistive technology, trained teachers, and evidence-based interventions! 🔥 2. Less Red Tape, More Support! 📝 The IEP and 504 processes should be streamlined, focusing on student success—not endless paperwork delays. 🚀 Every student deserves the tools to succeed. It’s time for Texas to step up for our kids! FixTexasEducation #SpecialEducationMatters #EveryStudentCounts #InclusionDoneRight #EducationForAll #SPEDReform #TexasTeachers
