Disability Funding a Primary Focus of Coming Policy Seminar

Financial worries are compounding for many families right now, some of whom have experienced job losses, loss of health insurance and even the threat of foreclosure. Among those hardest hit by the current economic recession are families caring for a child with cerebral palsy or other disability.

Shrinking state budgets often lead to the cutting of vital disability services and support, and this leaves many families in dire financial and emotional straits. It's no surprise that given the high stakes of the economic downturn that the coming 2009 Disability Policy Seminar will focus on the funding of disability programs such as health care and long-term services.

The seminar, which is titled A New Era: Embracing Opportunities in the Face of Grave Challenges, will take place in Washington D.C. from April 27th-29th. Space is limited, so you may want to register now at UCP website if you're interested.
