Phase Out Service Facilitators - The Middlemen
 

Service Facilitators get paid a lot while families of children with disabilities suffer with lack of sustainable, properly trained, reliable care providers, and some service facilitators like Toddlers to Grandparents and Moms in Motion, who, upon failing their own responsibilities to children, fail to accept an ounce of responsibility and then blackball innocent children out of their organizations. Fund the families! WE are strapped with medical bills until we are broke and on Medicaid. Service Facilitation should be an INTERNAL (much as I almost hate to say it) government service like case management. (like CSA and CSB) Wherein hopefully there is accountability and focused, concise, reliable, factual information provided to families on Waiver Services. Children and families deserve better when independent service facilitators fail. Get rid of them and replace them with a 3 to 5 year transparent, actionable plan. Save the added expenses. Invest directly into our families and children in need, please.
