First Connections helps identify RI babies + families needs as early as possible + connects them with services (WIC, mental health, pediatric care, etc) to meet those needs. Join @CFRI1834 at the State House on February 15 to advocate for critical funding for this proven program!
Thank you @GovDanMcKee for investing in Rhode Island's Early Intervention system! Rate increases will allow Early Intervention providers to fully staff their programs and end waiting lists so children and families who need these services receive them.
We know how important Early Intervention is for Rhode Island children and families. The budget I'll propose to the General Assembly will fully fund the Early Intervention rate increases recommended by @OHICRhodeIsland and @RIEOHHS. #RISOTS
