Urgen Action: Please Save Early Start

[Guest guest]

June 8, 2009

Dear Martha,

California is facing difficult choices regarding budget cuts, but the most

recent round of proposals has left California's Early Start program in danger of

being eliminated. This crucial program needs your help to be saved! The voting

on the budget is expected very quickly, so we need you to TAKE ACTION NOW.

Early Start serves children 0-3 years old who have or are at high risk for

developmental delay or disability. These services actually reduce the long-term

costs of care for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. But saving Early Start

is about more than money - these children deserve the equal access to

appropriate education that they are entitled to, and these families deserve the

supports they need. 

Sincerely,

Jeff Sell
