Please do not place added oversight with these proposed regulations for parents as attendants. Please keep the Consumer Directed model as a standard for parents. There is simply no monetary reason to place an agency into the mix. The extra money to be made by agencies should go to attendants. Simply supporting the special services our kids need provides the “guardrails” you say we need. We are accountable to doctors, therapists, CSB, SF, teachers, schools, and all the in-between providers of various services. My paperwork alone regarding intakes, documentation requests, and notes to providers is a second job. Families of special needs children are invaded with oversight as a byproduct of the kind of care our children need. We do not need more oversight or agencies training us on how to provide care for our children. It doesn’t make financial sense for the state to pay agencies for this particular workforce who are already most equipped and accountable.
