We are queueing up for summer fun! Registration is open for TSD's popular flagship summer opportunities: Summer Camps and Programs for students, Family Weekend Retreat for families, Communication Skills Workshop for parents and professionals. Take a virtual tour through the summer programs booklet to learn more about what's in store.

This month, we celebrate Women's History Month. The many important contributions that were, and are still being made, by women in our communities are worth celebrating. On our Featured Individuals page, we highlight several women whose work has impacted our community.

As you may be aware, the 2019 Texas House Bill 548 (HB548) on Special Education Language Acquisition (SELA) is generating and monitoring data on the language acquisition of children who are deaf or hard of hearing from birth to age 8.

This bill requires the collaboration of a Language Assessment committee (LAC) to

determine appropriate assessments and tools to be used for data gathering.

The Texas Education Agency, Texas School for the Deaf, and Health and Human

Services Commission is seeking professionals with a background in research who have knowledge, background, and experience in providing language assessments, and/or data collection and analysis to join our LAC.

If you are interested, please complete this survey by April 1, 2022. Please feel free

to forward this to any other experts that might be able to assist us.
