7,052. Allison Lovell Santa Cruz, CA I work in special education now and am pursuing a
teaching career in it as well and feel that these services
are so important and beneficial to these children that it is
absolutely absurd to take them away. It makes me sad that
the government continues to take and take and take and in
the long run leaves a lot of people out there floundering. In
the end we all have to suffer, but these children need
these services to maintain a healthy functional life.

Bellflower, CA We have dear friends who have a daughter with Spina
Bifida. Her parents cannot afford to provide her with these
services (that she needs very much) privately. It is
complete ignorance to think that a family with an annual
income of even $80,000 a year could afford to pay for all of
the needed therapies AND not accumulate massive debt
that would not be possible to repay. The disabled child,
who does not have an income, is the one who should be
thought of. Does our government not understand that
taking away services that will make these children
self-sufficient adults some day is only going to cost them
more in the long run??
Lakewood, CA These children are the most vulnerable and deserve our
support. California's Politicians need to, no must
re-establish it priroities and make medical care and
education for these children their number #1 priority.
Clearly, there is money spent in areas that are far less
important, but unfortunately there are no lobbiest who
advocate to do otherwise.
Concord, CA My daughter has CP and has been receiving these
services for 10 years. She has made amazing progress
and would be so far behind in her developmental ability
without these services. Insurance can't even come close to
replacing what CCS does for her. It would be a huge
disservice to special needs families and society if our
children were not allowed these services. They desperatly
need them.
7,062. Marta Senz Pleasant Hill, CA My son has made slow but steady progress in increasing
his physical strength and daily living skills during the years
he has had medical therapy. Without it, he would require
increased services at school and probably would require a
higher level of assistance as an adult. I believe the
