As of May 25th, 2025, the House and Senate have passed a bill that will create a plan for greater inclusion of children with disabilities in early education programs.
The Texas Senate gave final passage to House Bill 2310. The bill was authored by Rep. Claudia Ordaz and sponsored by Senator Tan Parker. It would require the TEA (Texas Education Agency), TWC (Texas Workforce Commission), and HHSC (Health and Human Services Commission) to develop a strategic plan to increase the inclusion of children with disabilities in public early childhood education programs.
It is now left up to Governor Abbott for consideration.
