    I agree 100% of the testimony of Siljander..I also work as a PCA and teach Special ED 1-1 with Autism and Celebral Palsy. It is really sad when we work this hard and do not get paid for our efforts of caring for the young and old. People would not be ablt to stay in their own homes without us..Look at all the money they are saving for keeping them out of Nursing Homes.
