Citizen Input for Legislative Policy Recommendations, 82nd Legislative
\nSession: January 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the important functions that The Texas Governor\u2019s Committee on People
\nwith Disabilities is charged to do in its enabling law is to make
\nrecommendations to the Governor and legislature each biennium on issues
\nrelated to Texans with disabilities.<\/p>\n

The Committee structures its work into ten broad issue areas. They are
\nAccess, Communication, Education, Emergency Management, Health, Housing,
\nRecreation and the Arts, Transportation, Veterans and Workforce.<\/p>\n

The Committee wants to hear from its citizens with disabilities, family
\nmembers, caregivers and professionals in the field of disability issues. We
\nwant to know what YOU think are the major needs and issues facing Texans
\nwith disabilities. Your feedback is needed and welcomed.<\/p>\n

If you have any data that you want to include with your comments that helps
\nbolster your feedback, please do include it or a link to it with your survey
\ncomments. The survey will be posted until September 30, 2010. The
\ninformation will then be consolidated and considered as the Committee drafts
\nits biennial policy recommendations for the 82nd Legislative Session which
\nbegins in January 2011.<\/p>\n

This survey is anonymous. Please distribute widely to your community.<\/p>\n
