As a member of the society for families of a child with a disability, all of us have to deal with our childrens disabililities, physically, mentally, phsycologically, ect... for the rest of our lives. Now our states are telling us that they will continue to make us suffer by not providing them with the services that they so rightfully deserve! So lets punish childrens' development stages do to the fact that the parents are income capped? And all because we are working hard to provided for her what she needs? Why punish them? They are only pushing them further back! And the real kicker, the money is there! I am just preaching to the choir that never shows. I swear, Eva's voice is small and limited but I feel like a lion. I will continue to roar until something gets change, whether she can benefit from it or not.
I know that I may not get anywhere with this issue knowing and being advised that this is way over my league but I would think that all state services should be equal. Some states provide services to children based fully on their individual needs. Huh, so the theory that every child gets an IEP (individual education plan) starting at birth? Not every state has this policy. Or, you can wait until they get to school, at age 5. Everyone knows that all major development milestones happens between 15 months and 40 months. So you want me, or my child to wait until she is five? Luckily in Indiana we only have to wait until she turns three. In our case, 38 months because she has a summer birthday.
So, If you want to help your child, your relative, your friend, your acquaintence, please let me know. Our children need all the help the rightfully deserve!
