Why is Legislation Important to TSHA and to YOU?

• Legislation affects our professions!
• Legislation can provide funds for student loan repayment for SLPs and audiologists employed in Texas public schools
• Legislation affects reimbursement for services
• Legislation affects who provides services
• Legislation affects how services are provided
• Legislation can affect quality of services
• Legislation can affect consumer access to services
• Legislation affects licensure

For legislators to make informed decisions about our professions and our consumers it takes all of us educating them about what speech-language pathologists and audiologists do and the impact we have on the lives of our consumers.

TSHA has a legislative team in place to help support and guide you in our grassroots efforts!
