2,149. trevecca okholm costa mesa, CA The CA governor's proposed budget will affect our friend's<br />

child with bra<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>jury and children like her<br />

drastically. It proposes <strong>to</strong> cut CCS (CA Children's<br />

Services) <strong>the</strong>rapy services for children whose families<br />

make more than $40K and kids who seem "mild." CCS has<br />

been a Godsend for our friend's family and has provided<br />

essential, high<br />

quality <strong>the</strong>rapy for <strong>the</strong>ir daughter s<strong>in</strong>ce she was four years<br />

old. She is do<strong>in</strong>g very well, but cont<strong>in</strong>ues <strong>to</strong> need <strong>the</strong>rapy<br />

<strong>in</strong>termittently so she can use her left side more effectively.<br />

The proposed cuts <strong>are</strong> only .07% of <strong>the</strong> budget and<br />

don't really save <strong>the</strong> state money; it just moves around<br />

which organization pays. It is look<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong>wards school<br />

districts and <strong>in</strong>surance companies <strong>to</strong> provide and pay -<br />

which means we all pay more. It is so important that<br />

children with Cerebral Palsy, bra<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>jury, and similar<br />

diagnosis' receive <strong>the</strong>rapy as soon as possible <strong>to</strong> help<br />

<strong>the</strong>m reach <strong>the</strong>ir full potential. This proposed budget<br />

cut would effectively take away <strong>the</strong>rapy from children who<br />

need it.<br />
