It’s official. We are on the agenda for Wednesday 2/10! Senator Luz Escamilla has agreed to propose that the request for state wide funding for Baby Watch Early Intervention Programs be considered by the Social Services Appropriations Committee. This request will be heard at a committee meeting on Wednesday, February 10th.
If you haven't written to your legislators, members of the Social Services Appropriations Committee or members of the Executive Appropriations Committee, please do so this week. Your letter does not need to contain a lot of facts and figures. It just needs to let them know your story and how early intervention has affected your family. Please remember to thank them for their support and ask them to support the $2.5M funding request for direct services. Please refer to the Baby Watch Early Intervention Program instead of Davis Early Intervention so they can link your letter the the correct funding request.
Our legislators have let us know that families are contacting them. Let's continue to keep the Baby Watch Early Intervention Program on their minds while they make their important decisions regarding funding for Utah.
Thank you for all you do!
