As some of you may know, the state and/or the local administrators feel our children will get better therapy by eliminating the current EIP staff and hiring an outside firm to visit our homes and help our children.
While I am not an unreasonable person, as a father of a very special daughter and knowing what the current therapist's have accomplished I cannot, and will not allow this change to occur without stepping up.
The program as it is is working, the therapists do a wonderful job, and best of all in my experience they actually care about the job and our children. Why would you want, or anyone want, to try to fix something that isn't broken?
We are not just talking about the dozen odd jobs that will be eliminated, this isn't about protecting our childrens therapists jobs, this is about protecting our children. My daughters therapists helped her greatly, and us. I do not want the next parents/grandparents/caregivers to not get the same quality treatment for there loved ones.
Yes the qualItity could possibly stay the same, but why risk it? Why take the chance when the current system, and the current therapists do such a great job?
