              Versions of This Bill

TO RECOGNIZE THE MANY OUTSTANDING SPEECH THERAPISTS AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS WHO WORK DAILY WITH SOUTH CAROLINA'S CITIZENS AND STUDENTS, TO RECOGNIZE THE SOUTH CAROLINA SPEECH HEARING AND LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION WHICH SERVES AS AN ADVOCATE FOR PERSONS WITH COMMUNICATION AND HEARING DISORDERS AND THOSE PROFESSIONALS WHO PROVIDE THEM SERVICES, AND TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2001, AS SPEECH AND HEARING DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN THEIR HONOR.

Whereas, South Carolina is blessed with many exceptional persons who are speech therapists or speech-language pathologists; and

Whereas, speech therapists and speech-language pathologists are professionals who are trained to teach students to improve their communication skills which are vitally important to academic success, particularly in light of the fact that the South Carolina Reading/English/Language Arts Curriculum standards include listing and speaking standards at every grade level; and

Whereas, school-based speech-language pathologists are specially trained to work with students to overcome listening and speaking difficulties and to help those students meet the language arts standards; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Speech Hearing and Language Association serves as an advocate for persons with communication and hearing disorders and those professionals who provide them services. This association also serves as a resource for its members and the community by providing information on current trends, therapeutic interventions, and technologies in the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology; and

Whereas, in order to recognize these speech therapists, speech-language pathologists, and the association for all they do for South Carolina's citizens and children, the General Assembly believes that it would be a fitting tribute to designate a particular day in their honor so that their contributions can be acknowledged on a statewide basis. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, hereby recognize the many outstanding speech therapists and speech-language pathologists who work daily with South Carolina's citizens and students, recognize the South Carolina Speech Hearing and Language Association which serves as an advocate for persons with communication and hearing disorders and those professionals who provide them services, and declare Wednesday, March 14, 2001, as Speech and Hearing Day in South Carolina in their honor.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Speech Hearing and Language Association.
