When the institution system was abolished in the 20th Century it was known then that the burden of helping those qualifying for these waivers would fall on families. Why must we be treated to such suspician and distrust when the only "crime" we have committed is to bring a new soul into the world that is special needs? To ban LRI's from being EORs when they are not also attendants is unpracticle. To then also stipulate a 50 mile radius for a new EOR and return LRI attendants to EV is nothing short of punitive. 40 hour max for CD LRI attendants is being kept why??? To save money, were the barbaric institutions cheaper...return to them instead if that's the case. Also, if the other LRI in a household is PCG and NOT an attendant why would thete be no respite? Lastly, how can IADL's possibly be eliminated for hour consideration when they are so vastly important to the care of special needs children and and are far in excess for what a typical child requires. My wife and I once had to move from Virginia to her third world country because our sons ABA was deemed educational not medical so insurance would not pay. If DMAS continues to treat my wife and I as potential criminals, we will leave again, taking with us our "needy" son and our VDOE teaching licenses we have used to educate thousands of Virginia's children in some of the poorest Title 1 schools in the Commonwealth.
