If it means IDEA, Early Intervention, local services, and a host of other things get funded, count me in. If that means I’m focusing too narrowly in the context of the larger economy, I’ll reflect on that later. Right now I’m too busy gathering supplies to take to school Wednesday so the teachers have everything they need to teach our kids. I’d hold a bake sale if I thought it would help.

Much of what’s on the White House’s web site are policy statements migrated over from Obama’s campaign site. (Believe me, I read the policy statements for just about everything on both his and McCain’s site during the election pretty much cover to cover.) But still, it’s awesome that it’s on the White House’s site. I do have some concern that others are getting short shrift here (people with Down Syndrome and everybody else who qualifies under IDEA, for example, among many others). I have theories about all this, but it’s too involved to go into in a comment.

Lucy – Thanks for the heads up on Autism Sunday. I totally missed that. Ack! It’s on my calendar! Yes, we’ll be looking out for a message from the President!
