4,898. Tricia Evans San Francisco, CA In my almost 40 years i nwork<strong>in</strong>g with childrne with Speech<br />

& Language disabilities I have personally seen many<br />

examples of <strong>the</strong> differences between chldren who receive<br />

early and ongo<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>tervention from qualified <strong>the</strong>rapist and<br />

those who do not receive <strong>in</strong>tervention. These childrend<br />

consistently lag beh<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong>ir peers <strong>in</strong> social and academic<br />

success, and do not carry forward <strong>the</strong> language skills<br />

necessary <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong>ir potential or be as skilled<br />

contribu<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> society as <strong>the</strong>y would have been had <strong>the</strong>y<br />

received <strong>the</strong> necessary <strong>the</strong>rapeutic <strong>in</strong>terventions.<br />

4,904. Lora Trapp Riverside, CA I work <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> NICU and have a dear friend who has<br />

foster/adopted a NICU graduate. I have seen first hand <strong>the</strong><br />

importance of <strong>the</strong>rapy for <strong>the</strong>se high risk children.<br />

<strong>California</strong> is so fortunate <strong>to</strong> have a group of lov<strong>in</strong>g 'home<br />

nurse' moms and dads that give <strong>the</strong>se children <strong>the</strong> c<strong>are</strong>,<br />

love and education that allows <strong>the</strong> children <strong>to</strong> thrive. I am<br />

so impressed. Please don't take away <strong>the</strong>se funds. Allow<br />

<strong>the</strong>se children <strong>to</strong> become who <strong>the</strong>y want <strong>to</strong> be without <strong>the</strong><br />

constant worry of how <strong>the</strong>y will afford <strong>the</strong>ir medical<br />

<strong>the</strong>rapies.<br />

4,908. Laureen Fel<strong>to</strong>n Redwood City, CA An annual <strong>in</strong>come more than $40,000? Come on. Do you<br />

really th<strong>in</strong>k that families earn<strong>in</strong>g $40,000 <strong>to</strong> even $150,000<br />

can afford this on <strong>the</strong>ir own? Raise that <strong>to</strong> $200,000 or<br />

more.<br />

4,909. Lee Stader-Chan Calis<strong>to</strong>ga, CA I believe very strongly that a society is as strong as it's<br />

weakest l<strong>in</strong>k. When we abandon <strong>the</strong> weak and <strong>the</strong> poor <strong>in</strong><br />

our society, we abandon what strength we had, for a false<br />

sense of security. Let's all stand <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r as one people<br />

help<strong>in</strong>g each o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> live a good life. All we have <strong>to</strong> do is<br />

C<strong>are</strong> a little. Thank you.<br />
