Early Childhood Intervention intro and cuts

Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) is a "statewide program for families with children, birth to three, with disabilities and developmental delays" (Texans Care for Children). ECI uses a family centered approach and much of their services are provided in the home. The services available through the ECI program can include:
Assistive Technology: Services & Devices, Audiology, Developmental Services, Early Identification, Screening & Assessment, Family Counseling, Family Education, Medical Services (diagnostic or evaluation services used to determine eligibility), Nursing Services, Nutrition Services, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Psychological Services, Service Coordination, Social Work Services, Speech-Language Therapy, Vision Services.

According to Texans Care for Children think tank, as of April 14, 2011 the Senate Finance Committee has backed the house of representatives with the decision to cut Early Childhood Intervention by $30 million. Amy Patterson, program director of Bright Beginnings ECI center in San Antonio, testified in front of a house appropriations sub-committee meeting on February 14, 2011. She shared that ECI caseloads have been growing year after year, the number of children that ECI serves has grown year to year. Now due to the massive budget cuts these caseloads will be halted and thousands of children will be cut and even more will be turned away. In order to accomodate for less funding agencies have to re-evaluate their eligibility requirements and narrow their eligibility criteria in order to serve less children in need. As an agency who works directly with the most underpriviliged, delayed and vulnerable young children how do you decide who to cut from the program?
