[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you have a super clean home. Maybe you and your friends have a normal amount of people living in your house. Maybe your child isn't medically fragile. Many of the houses that the EI teachers go into have multiple families living under one roof in communities where there are lots of Covid. EI teachers see a variety of families living in a variety of conditions. My friends who are in EI in Arizona are just starting to go into homes and they have to dress like they are on a space mission, pretty much wearing a hazmat suit (this was mandated by their agency)- very child friendly, lol.

Are you living in some kind of time loop where surface transmission is still a thing? Because otherwise all that you're saying with this point about "clean homes" is that EI therapists don't want to be around dirty poor people and that's pretty terrible. Lots of people during this pandemic have been working in risky conditions to provide essential services. It's really sad we don't consider EI services for children with developmental delays to be essential.[/quote]

plus, just, a billion. There is also a scientifically confirmed window for many interventions. Time is of the essence. Also, as stated upthread, these people have been vaccinated since it was possible. They also often contract out to EI, and separately work and see in person patients for pay. Its pretty horrible, actually.[/quote]

And EI isn’t even free in Virginia. It’s income based and most people pay for it, although generally less than private therapy that’s not covered by insurance. This is just like the libraries, schools, and other free or inexpensive stuff. They’re keeping it closed because they get money no matter what and the outcomes are irrelevant. [/quote]
