Step 1 - contact Deborah, Bill, or Sarah who are collecting data those who want to help us address the Registry of Unmet Needs. We would like a contact person from each MCO.

Step 2 - we will start a publicity campaign across the state with articles and letters to the editor.

Step 3 - a letter writing campaign.

Step 4 - meet with legislators to address the problems with the registry - especially the lack of waivers and the never ending wait for many families.
