Families of Autistic Children Sue Over Treatment Cuts
On Thursday, the families of seven autistic children filed a lawsuit against the Eastern Los Angeles Regional Center for discontinuing a type of treatment that they say was helping their children. Gloria Wong, executive director of the medical center, said the treatment was discontinued because of a $384 million budget cut to the state's 21 regional medical centers.
