ACTS helped to engineer a resolution adopted by the State Early Intervention Coordinating Council (EICC) in the Fall of 2022 and continues to call upon the Governor to support an EI rate increase of 11%.
ACTS is lobbying for support of our rate increase request, and as a result both the NYS Assembly and the Senate proposed an 11% rate increase to be included in the budget.
ACTS is coordinating with more than a half-dozen other EI advocacy groups and through our combined efforts we offer a constant presence and ongoing communication with the Legislature and the Governor about this necessary 11% rate increase.
ACTS generates press coverage of the needs of underserved children in the EI Program.
