I went to a California Regional Center open forum last night and it was standing room only.  There is going to be a State cut of 3% and a one time cut of $100,000,000 from the state budget for caring for special needs, helping people live on their own and generally giving purpose to the clients of the California regional center.

I urge all of the people reading this in California to please support the regional centers by writing your Congressional representatives and the Governor.  The California regional centers help people with autism, special needs and other disabilities function as part of society.  They are clients for the regional center and they are an easy target for budget cuts.

We discussed in the open forum in Van Nuys that in some small cases there is room for abuse and I think everybody in the program accepts that there will be budget cuts but the regional center clients  need a roof over their heads and they are just trying to be part of society.

The ethical and moral issues aside, it is bad for business to treat our people who can help themselves the least with disdain and abandonment.  I am not one for entitlement programs but I am one for help programs to get people to do something to have a higher quality of life.  The regional centers help people achieve their potential.

Caregivers (parents, siblings, friends) don’t live forever.  The scary part of life isn’t death but who is going to take care of people who can’t take care of themselves after we are gone.  Please do what you can to help and if you need more information drop me an email or a post.  You can google California Regional Centers for more information or visit here.

I have a daughter who is a client of the Regional Center and I have a vested interest in seeing her have a decent quality of life.  You may have friends or loved ones in the state of California who also are in need of a decent quality of life.  Think of it this way as well:  If you are out of work, without a place to stay and hungry, how much worse is it if you can’t take care of yourself or completely understand what is happening to you or are unable to express your frustrations at what is going on around you?   The Regional Centers can help with that.

Thanks for listening.
