I'm sorry they were so disrespectful to you. Does your grandson have a swallowing disorder or other medical condition? Are you wanting the OT to work on independence with feeding as a fine motor goal or a life skill goal? Schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Programs should have an interest in children wanting to be properly fed and hydrated in order to attend to their educational activities.

One of the many hats I wear is that I am on the EPAC for the Epilepsy Foundation. EPAC=Education Policy Advisory Committee Sharing something they shared with me today: Dear Lisa, Happy National Epilepsy Awareness Month (NEAM)! After the mid-term election next week, members of Congress will return to Washington, D.C., and will need to finish working on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 budget. Now is the perfect time for you to reach out to your elected officials and ask them to support increased investments in critical epilepsy-related programs and research in the final FY 2023 budget. The Epilepsy Foundation and many grassroots advocates have been meeting with lawmakers over the past year to ask them to support $13 million for the CDC's Epilepsy Program, $164 Million for the Safe Motherhood & Infant Health Program, and $19 Million for the VA Epilepsy Centers of Excellence. With increased funding for these important programs, we can expand quality epilepsy services that reduce healthcare costs, improve health outcomes, and help raise public awareness. We have provided template letters, but we strongly encourage you to share your own personal experience as a member of the epilepsy community and why this funding matters. With gratitude, Laura Weidner Vice President, Government Relations & Advocacy Epilepsy Foundation
