I don't understand why it is always first to cut funding from mental health. people with special needs should have all the benefits they need to belong to the community. They want to work, live and go to school. Just like everybody else. You look at programs in the past is always special needs. People aren't always born with mental issues they can get later in life, a car wreck, a fall, birth. People show up to your local community meetings get involved, write you state senators, house or reps. These people work for you or against you.Go to the local coffee shops they live in your community. People with special needs are people to. One day it might be you.
