Because of the budget difficulties, San Jose's new proposed budget for the year 2010 states a change in the 'service delivery model for community centers, significantly reducing the facilities and services available' INCLUDING COMPLETELY ELIMINATING the Office of Therapeutic Services programs in San Jose.
The OTS programs have been available to disabled persons for over 20 years, and it would be a shame for these programs to be eliminated from peoples’ lives. OTS has provided individuals with disabilities with programs for adults, and juniors with both physical and mental disabilties. All equally important! These programs include Wheels on Fire (a program for juniors with disabilties), San Jose Spokes Adult wheelchair basketball, Wheelchair Tennis, and so much more!
Please join us in our efforts to keep this wonderful opportunity for other kids and adults available. Sign this petition if you do not want the OTS programs to be eliminated.

The city has money for everything else but they want to hurt the disabled community. shameful.
These programs are a lifeline for so many families. How are they supposed to manage without them???
Wheels on Fire is great. My son has been going for years and it is the highlight of his week. Do not cut this.
My nephew loves these programs. Please dont take this away from the community it is so wrong
