New York State is being sued for failing to fully support early intervention services for children. The lawsuit is new, but the issue is not. A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers has been saying for years that the state is falling short in this area. We talk about what the lawsuit might accomplish, and how many kids are being affected. Our guests:
Brigit Hurley, chief program officer at The Children's Agenda
Rachel Bonsignore, director of Liftoff WNY
Zareen Kamal, policy specialist at Start Early Illinois
