40 hour cap for multiple children or per child?
 

Please clarify if it’s 40 cap per child? 
I would like a clarification on the proposed 40 hour cap. Is it per child? Or for multiple individuals on waiver in same house? My kids require a high level of care as long as they are awake. Furthermore, it’s hard enough for me to find a few good aids for some hours let alone staff all my kids hours. Not many people want to change diapers for 6 foot tall children with behaviors. Reliability is such a problem at current wage.
Im a recent widow and I can’t imagine trying to staff before school after school holidays. Please clarify if it’s 40 hours per child on fis
