Permitting the proposed cuts will create a negative impact for the Republic of Texas and her future. These cuts are not only drastic; but directly affects children by limiting the availability to necessary Therapeutic SKILLED intervention. As we have recently seen with implemented cuts in various heath care providers in under a years time, there have been devastating economic shifts. Patient/clientele in a multi-age spectrum are unable to qualify for therapeutic interventions/care. Physicians and Skilled Professionals (holding substantial degrees) are not permitted to direct appropriate care due to statutes imposed by individuals not in the medical field leading to shortened lengths of stays and lack of proper adaptive equipment/supplies which ultimately increases the frequency of reoccurrence and cost. In addition, these cuts directly affected the closure of many clinics across Texas. Specifically in District 34, Therapists were forced to either relocate or stay to hold multiple positions, ultimately leaving children in need of skilled services on even longer waiting lists, and/or without proper consecutive care thus limiting the child's opportunities for future success. We must take action, as proper therapeutic intervention has been statistically proven to enable those individuals suffering from: psychosocial, physical dysfunction, trauma, and genetic anomalies to develop skills necessary in becoming an integral part of society.
