Family Voices has a Colorado chapter: http://www.familyvoices.org/states.php?state=CO and I would encourage any parent who is being denied services (or not able to afford services), such as Early Intervention, to contact them.

Tiny's lasted just 6 months, and Buba is still getting some services at this point. The work they've done with my kids has helped tremendously, but even better is all the things I've learned by watching what they do. I now know how to help my kids during all the hours of the week that EI service providers are not here. It's a fantastic program and one that desperately needs more funding. I've already written one letter and will probably write a few more. It will most likely mean the end of our services if the proposed changes (related to fees and eligibility) go through. :o(reanbeanhttp://www.reanbean.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-54718059310923611532010-02-24T09:24:30.916-07:002010-02-24T09:24:30.916-07:00this is crazy they are freezing EI!

It's not just "oh, we'll give your child therapy." Instead, there is so much parents are taught to do as well, which can help decrease the amount of therapy needed.Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-47225226830411806532010-02-23T07:39:17.954-07:002010-02-23T07:39:17.954-07:00Thanks for blogging about this.

I think Early Intervention is extremely important - I've seen it benefit so many families, and I also think it has done a lot to reduce the social stigma of developmental delays.MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.com
