knee. Fortunately, he is do<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>credibly well now. He is a<br />

feisty redhead possessed with <strong>in</strong>credible charm and<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>ation. He walks with a pros<strong>the</strong>sis and is able <strong>to</strong> do<br />

most of <strong>the</strong> same th<strong>in</strong>gs any kid can do. This is <strong>in</strong> no small<br />

part due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> services he has received at CCS. He has<br />

been see<strong>in</strong>g Vicky, his physical <strong>the</strong>rapist, almost every<br />

week s<strong>in</strong>ce he was a baby. He looks forward <strong>to</strong> see<strong>in</strong>g her<br />

every time we go. Sever<strong>in</strong>g this relationship could have an<br />

extremely deleterious effect. The trust our most vulnerable<br />

children build over time should not be set aside because of<br />

short-term (albeit real) budgetary concerns. While Qu<strong>in</strong>n is<br />

thriv<strong>in</strong>g and overcom<strong>in</strong>g his disability, I see so many<br />

children at CCS who <strong>are</strong> <strong>in</strong> dire need of <strong>the</strong>rapy.<br />

Maximiz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ir potential is absolutely essential <strong>to</strong><br />

mitigat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ir potential eventual reliance on <strong>the</strong> state. At<br />

<strong>the</strong> very least some mechanism by which <strong>in</strong>surance<br />

companies could contribute <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> expense of <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rapy<br />

is necessary.<br />

My friend's nephew, who is a <strong>to</strong>ddler, relies on <strong>California</strong><br />

Children's Services <strong>to</strong> treat his mild cerebral palsy. If <strong>the</strong><br />

service is cut, he will not be able <strong>to</strong> receive <strong>the</strong> treatment<br />

he needs, and his medical <strong>in</strong>surance will not cover <strong>the</strong><br />

costs.<br />
