Classmate Critique

Youth Empowerment Services Waiver is the post of the blog Govern Us wrote. The post makes a brief summary of what the Youth Empowerment Service waiver is, which is a program set to help parents get care for their children that have advanced emotional disturbances and how to help them cope while still staying at their own homes, as opposed to going to a mental hospital. The author supports the push for this program to be implemented in Texas Counties for numerous reasons. 

I found the post to be very interesting, yet I feel that it lacked in some areas. For example, the author could have elaborated more on the conditions the children have to have in order to qualify for this program. Would children of Autism/Asperger's Syndrome qualify? Also, the requirements for the parents financially or if there are any. Lastly, what are the barriers that the Texas counties have been experiencing? The title, if i may make a recommendation, was straight to the point, which is not bad but lacks that quality to grab your attention. I would recommend something along the lines of "Say YES to the waiver for the kids." 

Overall, I found the post to be good and look forward to researching how this could help the youth of today.
