#KidsCantWait

Social Media Toolkit
March 2021

Main Actions:

  • Urge advocates to Take Action and visit our E-Action page
  • Urge elected leaders to read our priorities and act on them
  • Direct viewers to AFC’s new EI report

Sample Posts

Early Intervention provides life-changing services for children with disabilities/developmental delays and their families. Yet too many families have lost services because of COVID. Take Action to urge state leaders to support EI. https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/ #KidsCantWait

EI rates are lower now than in 1998.  We need #CoveredLivesforEI to solve the provider shortage. #KidsCantWait https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/

@NYGovCuomo:  It’s time to invest in, not cut, Early Intervention services.  #KidsCantWait https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/

.@NYGovCuomo @CarlHestie @AndreaSCousins: Due to the pandemic, too many families can no longer access Early Intervention services. Read @AFCNewYork’s new report and help kids and families recover. #KidsCantWait https://www.advocatesforchildren.org/node/1694

Early therapies can help prevent special education later in life.  A Covered Lifes assessment will bring in much needed revenue for Early Intervention.  #KidsCantWait #CoveredLivesforEI https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/

A new report by @AFCNewYork shows that an estimated 3,000-6,000 young children in NYC were never identified as potentially having a developmental delay of disability.  New York must Act Now to help families recover.  READ https://www.advocatesforchildren.org/node/1694 ACT https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/#KidsCantWait

After increasing for years, annual EI enrollment plummeted during COVID-19. Take action now to support children with developmental delays and disabilities. #KidsCantWait https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/

.NYGovCuomo: After increasing for years, annual EI enrollment plummeted during COVID-19. Read @AFCNewYork’s new report and help kids and families recover. #KidsCantWait https://www.advocatesforchildren.org/node/1694

The number of children enrolled in EI fell by 12% statewide during the pandemic. For kids still enrolled, services delivered fell by 29%. NYS must Act Now to reverse these trends. #KidsCantWait

During the pandemic, the average number of children referred to EI each week dropped 82% in NYC. We must reverse this trend – Take Action to tell elected leaders to act now. #KidsCantWait https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/

Early Intervention evaluations fell by 67% between January/February and spring 2020 in NYC. Too many children with disabilities/developmental delays aren’t getting the care they need – Act Now. #KidsCantWait https://thechildrensagenda.org/send-a-message-kids-cant-wait/kcw/
