Legislature opts to largely maintain cuts of therapy services for disabled children

Published on May 26, 2017 under CommunityImpact

In the latest showdown between the Texas House and Senate — this time over how much money to spend on speech, physical and occupational therapy services for disabled children — the Senate scored a last-minute victory. State Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, told House colleagues on Friday he was prepared to accept the Senate’s version of a stop-gap budget plan, which would not restore funding for disabled children’s therapy services that House leaders had previously pledged to reverse. Disgruntled House lawmakers gathered at the back microphone to express their disappointment as Zerwas delivered the news to the chamber. Via Texas Tribune
