Hello this petition is in regards to my 3 year old daughter who was born blind, and has a rare disorder ( Peter's anomaly) along with the many other babies, children and adolescent individuals residing in the state of NJ. As everyone is well aware many things have been shut down due to the pandemic. The last time my daughter received her services which was 1x a week was March of 2020. She also received Early intervention which stopped at that time as well. Forwarding to over a year later and the commission is not only inoperable but they are not meeting our children's needs. There is still no TVI, MOBILITY SPECIALISTS, not to mention materials ie walking stick, pre braille material. Early intervention was allowed back into the homes wearing masks since September 2020! Yet the commission is no where to be found and my daughter along with many others who can not use the ZOOM PLATFORM they are providing cannot see hence causing regression. Since we were suppose to have her tvi follow her when in school but that did not happen, I chose to keep her on stand by time saved up through Early intervention. I have contacted EVERYONE, including our Governor via email and no response. I was finally given the email to the director of commission as well as the director of special education for the state. To no avail, all they keep telling me is they need the go ahead due to the pandemic but cannot even give a time frame to when this organization will be back again. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The pandemic should not be used as an excuse any longer as vaccines are available, schools are open, restaurants and bars are open, people are traveling and here are our children, regressing because their needs are not being met and that is illegal. I know many other parents in NJ who are going through the same exact thing and it is heartbreaking to just have to sit back and wait.. I can no longer do that as my child deserves her tvi and all materials due to her disability so that she can properly prosper. Please with a kind heart all I ask is that you sign this petition so that hopefully we can make a change, have the commission back into our lives for our kids. This is my last hope, Thank you for those who will take the time out to read this, sign it and pass it along.
