Parents Object to Proposed Early Intervention Changes in Maine

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Parents of children with developmental disabilities made an emotional plea to stop changes to early intervention services being proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services.
"In our kids' cases, good early education changes, even saves their lives," said Jessica Meehan, a mother from Portland, during a public hearing on the proposed changes. "Please do not affect these changes, please do not reduce the rates paid to already stretched providers and please do not leave our children by the roadside."
