| A. Our State / Federal advocacy and proposals programs are designed not only for currently inadequate procedures; it also, works to purpose changes, in which majority of cases the agency themselves, end up embracing. Some examples would be; |
 |
| 1) Currently in California a person with a permanent disability must re-apply each year for a blue handicap placard. In the case of individual born with neither arms nor legs, this is a non-essential, redundant process. The agency themselves support us in this effort. 2) In Home Support Services is required to do annual inspection of each recipient, and is limited to increasing or decreasing hourly support benefits. We have suggested that one time expenditures on their part for example to replace some support assistance by robotic devices in many cases prove to be much more cost effective. The agency is very receptive to this proposal. |
