HB 1996 by Rep. Ana Hernandez and SB 2526 by Sen. Judith Zaffirini – as well as a provision in HB 2 by Rep. Brad Buckley – would make children with disabilities eligible for Texas pre-k, ensuring access to effective early intervention and instruction.
“A student with a language delay benefits from one-on-one interventions with a speech-language pathologist — and from being in the language-rich environment of a high-quality pre-k classroom, practicing appropriate language use with their non-disabled peers.”
