H.R. No. 1283 is a resolution recognizing Joanna Adame from Mission for her achievements as a member of the Texas Partners in Policymaking Class of 2025. This program, organized by the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, aims to empower individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to become advocates for policy change. Over seven months, participants gain knowledge about disability history, systems, and policy, often leading to roles on various boards and councils or even running for public office. Ms. Adame, as a parent advocate, completed a capstone project focused on raising awareness of cortical visual impairment and improving access to related resources.

The resolution commends Ms. Adame for her dedication to connecting families with essential services and advocating for community support as the chair of the parent advisory committee for Easterseals Rio Grande Valley. It acknowledges her efforts in developing the skills necessary to drive positive change in her community. The Texas House of Representatives extends its congratulations to Ms. Adame on her graduation from the program and wishes her continued success in her future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for her as a token of high regard.
