I do appreciate the continued fight for parents as paid care givers however, I cannot seem to understand if a LRI cannot be an EOR with a live in parent attendant, who will do it? We have very limited family in this area and no one that would take on the task of EOR as it is unpaid and requires paperwork, time and effort. How can I leave the responsibility to hire care takers for my child to someone else? I do not understand the logic behind this as a lot of families do not have a “village” of people that would be willing to take in such tasks and responsibilities with no pay or obligation to them personally. I feel like this is in a round about way, making it impossible yet again for parents to be paid attendants. We can’t even find someone willing to care for our disabled family member for the low pay and benefits now, and we are supposed to find someone for an unpaid position? Truly unfathomable. I hope we are heard on this, like I suspected we had been heard about the issue regarding parents continuing on as paid attendants.
