work together as a team to best meet the needs of my
students' physical needs. They are a wealth of knowledge,
always aware of current research, funding, and new
technology. Cutting back on this program by limiting who
can receive this service is a dis-service to our
communities. These therapists are specialists in their work
with children with these specific disabilities. This support
should continue for ALL families regardless of their
income.

5,897. karen sharp san luis obispo, CA I work in special education and I know how valuable and
necessary CCS is to my students and their families.
5,898. Kathleen Benedict Los Osos, CA I have many clients who use this valuable service to help
them in their daily lives. PLEASE DO NOT CUT THIS
PROGRAM. Please, help those who are less fortunate and
who can grow to live productive, independent lives. Early
intervention saves money.
5,899. Rebecca Conrow Arroyo Grande, CA CCS is the only option for our physically disabled students

their complex needs. I have personally worked with these
therapist as we share many students. They are highly
specialized in their fields and provide quaility treatment to
our students as well as support to teachers and families.
Please spare this program!

5,904. Naomi Blakely Santa Margarita, CA The children served by CCS are amongst the neediest.
Their families, already reeling with the day to day
challenges of their child's condition, will be faced with a
huge financial hit for which there is no relief. This is
discrimination against those with disabilities, and our state
must recognize it as such and look elsewhere to fill the
deficit. I'll pay more taxes. Just ask.

regardless of financial status. While it might appear to
