Monitor carefully the laws and policies established by the state. If they are ineffective, identify the families who are being hurt, publicize their plight, and encourage law makers to remedy the problems. Don't forget to highlight successful programs and have parents provide personal testimonies. Remember to give credit to policy makers who are making a difference. Consider sending personal thank you notes, contributing an article to your local media, or hosting an awards breakfast in their honor.
All good things come about as a result of good ideas and perseverance.
