As a parent of a child with a disability in your district, I am thrilled to see you acknowledge the need for change here. I am dismayed at the amount of money thrown an inefficient and outdated models of care for those with disabilities in our State. We can and need to do so much better. I thank you for speaking up and showing support for children like mine who just want what all of us want, the ability to live, work and be a part of their community.
I am both a mom with children with disabilities and a professional working with families who have children with disabilities. I appreciate your recognition of these children and their rights as individuals...their contribution to society is beyond measure. Without financial assistance, these children will be unable to reach their full potential. We have an obligation to them, their families and ourselves. If we are a country that values equality- how can we deny these children a chance to succeed?
Thank you for supporting and advocating on behalf of all Texans who have a disability. You are respected by all, no matter where they choose to receive services, State Supported Living Centers and community supports.
Thank you so much for caring about our children. They are all angels from God. My 7 year old daughter with Down sydrome is a blessing to our family. She has taught us how to find the pure joy in life! Please urge your fellow legislators to oppose cuts to critical services for our families.
