-
Each year, Wediko Children’s Services provides a continuum of residential and school-based special education and clinical services for over 1800 vulnerable children and their families. Wediko delivers these services at our residential campus in southern New Hampshire as well asin four dozen public schools in metro-Boston and New York City. The Wediko home offices are located in the South End of Boston. Our multi-disciplinary programs include: o Wediko Summer Program (WSP) - WSP is an intensive, 45-day, summer residential treatment program for 160 boys and girls, ages 7-19. Founded in 1934, all staff in this program live and work on-site for two months (June 25 – August 25). o School-Based Services (SBS) - Based in Boston since 1980, SBS provides workshops, program consultation and direct clinical services in close collaboration with over 48 public schools (K-12, ages 3 to 22). o Wediko values evidence-based treatment as well as best practices in special education as reflected in our emphasis on tiered resources within the PBIS and RTI models. Wediko helps schools and families work with each other through trauma-informed models, as well as the Side by Side social skills curriculum. o Wediko School - the Wediko School is also located on our 450-acre campus in southern NH.

With services in Boston, New Hampshire and New York City, the Deputy must be excited about working in both rural and urban settings.

NCCRA: show support for colon cancer screening & saving lives!

-

RT Now To Show your Support for NCCRA and Encourage State Legislators To Require Coverage for Colon Cancer Screening and Save Lives!

If you are 50 or older, or have a high risk of colon cancer due to factors such as a family history, your health insurance may not cover the cost of colorectal cancer screening tests depending on which state you live in.

In fact, 20 states – including Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin – received ‘D’ or ‘F’ grades on the 2012 National Colorectal Cancer Legislation Report Card for failing to ensure their citizens’ colon cancer screening tests are covered by insurance. (In contrast, all 50 states have laws that require comprehensive coverage for breast cancer screenings.)

Colon cancer, if detected early, is curable in 90% of cases and is often entirely preventable through screening. It is time for every state to pass legislation requiring insurance coverage for colon cancer screening exams for everyone who needs them.

Are Tax Cuts for Millionaires and Billionaires Change You Can Believe In?

-

 I have never been more disappointed in a political figure than I am with Barack Obama.  Even Bill Clinton's dalliances which cost him his best governing years and cynical votes from Democratic senators on the Iraq War authorization do not equal the perplexing disappointment that is Barack Obama's tax policy and his complete lack of gumption to fight to do the right and moral thing.  I say Barack Obama's tax policy because he now owns it.  He did not extend the Bush tax breaks; they die this Jan 1.  These tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires are now his to own.  

Whatever Happened to "Yes We Can"?

Like so many Americans, I was caught up in the promise and hope that Barack Obama represented.  As the first African American with a real shot at the Presidency, he already had a good deal of good will and the hope of a people on his side.   His soaring oratory and apparent strength of conviction added to the allure of a President who would usher in a new era. After 8 years of a historically bad and unjust Presidency, Americans were hungry for significant change.
