CAICA would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to everyone who has worked to make this happen and to those who have continued to be a voice for children who no longer have a voice. We wish to extend a special thanks to Congressman George Miller who has spent years working on this issue and to the GAO. Additionally, a special thanks to the parents whose children lost their lives in residential treatment programs who painfully spoke at the hearing.
