Great short film detailing some of the challenges our Northshore communities face. The saddest part for me is fighting my gut reaction, thinking about all the people who won't be able to afford to live here once we commit to a solution.

Early Intervention was life-changing for my son and actually saved our school district money in the long run
Something I haven't seen covered extensively with regards to the Department of Education is the fact that the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) funds early intervention services, along with Medicaid. EI is usually free, or very low cost for families.
