State Mulls Developmental Disability Service Cuts
Advocates for the developmentally disabled are working with state officials to identify $100 million in budget cuts. The proposals include not paying clients' day and work programs for four extra days on average, which would save $22 million, and excluding thousands of children ages two and older from an early intervention program for developmental issues, which would save $15 million.
