We apparently can not charge more to the parents for special needs, HOWEVER, in my state, they will pay an extra $2.20 per hour for special needs kids for state pay kids. Odd that the state will voluntarily pay more, but we can not charge the parents more.

I just turned a blind, underdeveloped baby away because I physically didn't think I could meet his needs and the needs of 3 other infants. I wasn't going to hire someone and pay them twice what he brought in for his care. I was afraid and still might get a call from the ADA or whoever but it would not have been fair to any one if I took him on, especially him.
