Many families (mine!), he says, “questioned the need to keep day program sites closed throughout most of the year, particularly since the State reopened childcare centers on June 15 and many schools were reopened in the fall.” DHS refused to allow individuals with disabilities to use their budgets to buy laptops and other one-on-one devices in order to access the virtual programming day programs often provide. Some people can only access programming on their phones.

Thank you Laura Waters for your words!
