Help Prevent Cuts to Early Intervention in the FY2012 Proposed Budget

Early Intervention is a system of support and therapy for infants and toddlers aged birth to three w/developmental delays and disabilities.

Last year Governor Christie's proposed budget included a $12 million cut to EI. The state implemented this cut by lowering the income level at which families must pay into the system, increasing the family cost share and reducing the provider rates by 5%. We are deeply concerned that as the Governor looks for ways to cut NJ's expenditures again this year, he will once again look to the EI Program.

Please consider letting your voice be heard to ensure there are no more cuts to early intervention funding in NJ! Respond to the action alert HERE. Our message needs to be: "Please do not make ANY cuts to Early Intervention in the FY2012 budget!"
