447. Annie Se<strong>in</strong> Daly city, CA I work as a Pediatric OT for 10 years <strong>in</strong> many different<br />

sett<strong>in</strong>g. It is very important for children with special needs<br />

<strong>to</strong> get <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>the</strong>rapy services that <strong>the</strong>y need. It is very<br />

important <strong>to</strong> have cont<strong>in</strong>ue services from CCS.<br />

448. Phil McCarthy Campbell, CA<br />

449. Rich Ngo San Francisco, CA My daughter suffered from a life threaten<strong>in</strong>g stroke when<br />

she was just 4 years old. Post stroke, she was not able <strong>to</strong><br />

use any of her limbs. She is now 7 years old and while she<br />

does not have full use of <strong>the</strong> left side of her body, The CCS<br />

Therapist Team helped her relearn how <strong>to</strong> walk, eat and<br />

navigate life's journeys with just one function<strong>in</strong>g hand.<br />

They taught her, and <strong>are</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> teach her how <strong>to</strong><br />

cope with life's obstacles. Without CCS, our child would<br />

not be as mobile and <strong>in</strong>dependent as she is <strong>to</strong>day. Please<br />

don't elim<strong>in</strong>ate this life sav<strong>in</strong>g program. Our children <strong>are</strong><br />

our future, special needs or not. Please do <strong>the</strong> right th<strong>in</strong>g<br />

and f<strong>in</strong>d o<strong>the</strong>r budgets <strong>to</strong> cut. The children of our society<br />

do not deserve this.<br />

450. Peter Moskovits Belmont, CA As a husband of a <strong>the</strong>rapist who worked for years at CCS<br />

and family friends with many <strong>the</strong>rapists and former<br />

patients, I see up close how much <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p notch CCS<br />

<strong>the</strong>rapy services means <strong>to</strong> families. Chang<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> eligibility<br />

standards, CCS sevices will be <strong>in</strong>accessible <strong>to</strong> most<br />

families and children. Please don't elim<strong>in</strong>ate this great<br />

service!<br />

451. Anna Moskovits Belmont, CA I worked at CCS for 4 years and I was always <strong>in</strong>spired by<br />

<strong>the</strong> fact that children who o<strong>the</strong>rwise would not have been<br />

able <strong>to</strong> benefit from services had a chance <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong><br />

quality of <strong>the</strong>ir lives.<br />

452. Kelly Anderson Mission Viejo, CA<br />

453. Shellie Lopes Corona, CA My 3 year daughter has Sp<strong>in</strong>al Muscular Atrophy Type 1<br />

and CCS has helped her with very necessary items and<br />

improved her quality of life.<br />

454. Lana Sanchez Pacific, CA<br />

455. Patty Campbell Clay<strong>to</strong>n, CA<br />

456. Sharon Young Red Bluff, CA Children should be our first priority.<br />

457. Shelly Dehn George<strong>to</strong>wn, TX All children should get <strong>the</strong> medical c<strong>are</strong> and assistance<br />

<strong>the</strong>y need no matter what <strong>the</strong> family <strong>in</strong>come is.<br />

458. Patricia Ruppelt Alameda, CA <strong>California</strong> Children's Services is a model program <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

US serv<strong>in</strong>g kids with disabilities. The proposed restrictions<br />

on <strong>the</strong> program will effectively cut out services for all<br />

middle class families who have kids with physical<br />

disabilities. Private <strong>in</strong>surance will not pay for <strong>the</strong>rapy for<br />

<strong>the</strong>se kids. This program must be defended by citizens and<br />

<strong>the</strong> legislature.<br />
