[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a DC resident and taxpayer, I hope that this prime property is not given over to a non-tax paying, specialty entity that serves a whopping 50 people a year.   One, it is worth noting, has a super well-oiled marketing and lobbying arm when compared to other groups representing persons with special needs/disabilities.

Thanks for the heads up.  I will contact my council member and urge her to oppose this and instead offer the space to either a tax generating entity or a nonprofit that serves significantly more individuals who need help.   Lower income lung cancer patients, for example.  [/quote]

Who are you? This is the special needs forum and for your information, DC has thousands of children diagnosed with autism. As a parent of a profoundly ASD child, of course I am in favor of this type of initiative. I think it is far better than the scatter shot private placements involving due process that themselves are costly and if families prevail, cost another $55-80K per year. You seem like kind of a tool frankly.[/quote]
