I was just at an "all staff" meeting last week where our Exec. Director gave us some hints of what is to come. Dept. of Dev. Services (state agency) needs to cut $100 from its budget--they fund the Regional Centers. We (service Coords) received an email with all the proposed cuts to save this gand amount of money. It will cut services to our consumers both in EI and over 3 in many areas and families will be asked to pay a portion of respite for the EI program too. It all boils down to the economy--ugh. I've had contact with some CCS PTs here, probably not enough and certainly not in the same way you do. I remember trying to get a client (teen with involved CP) something that would get her into the tub and mom wouldn't have to use her back to get the 100 plus pound girl into it. I think they "tried" but whatever they came up with wasn't really effective. I'll keep you and Laelia in prayer. She's progressed so much and will continue with therapy and support. God wants her to have the best! Blessings, Robin Hi from an Alta (not EI) Service Coordinator,

I’ll keep you and Laelia in prayer. She’s progressed so much and will continue with therapy and support. God wants her to have the best!
