Mission
Hou-Met, a local chapter of the Texas Educational Diagnosticians’ Association, promotes professionalism, excellence, and continuing growth for diagnosticians to provide individuals with disabilities quality educational services in the Houston-Metropolitan area.
The Hou-Met Chapter of the Texas Educational Diagnosticians’ Association (TEDA) represents Educational Diagnosticians in the greater Houston-Metropolitan area. In addition to membership meetings each year, Hou-Met has provided an annual fall conference since 1975. Hou-Met has hosted the conference to expand the knowledge base and professionalism of Educational Diagnosticians.
The chapter uses proceeds from the annual conference to fund scholarships for students with disabilities in post secondary education programs as well as individuals in Educational Diagnostician certification programs. In the spring/summer, the chapter hosts a general meeting where newly elected officers are presented to the membership.
Hou-Met is committed to the educational and overall well-being of every child and continues to pursue excellence in the field of general and special education.
