In addition to electronic use in general rising during Covid, the purchases of ebooks for children surged after the lockdown started. As we start to emerge from Covid it is the perfect time to look at the research of how young children learn and how screens may not be the best tool for that learning.

Attestation and Certification for EI Billing:
DDS is postponing the attestation. Will be developing a revised Directive required around PPP funds.
- You can bill for March without being held accountable for the attestation.
- As a precaution with your billing you are encouraged to simply write a letter to your regional center (Include Vendor Codes ) that you agreed to the E-Billing certifications but that you are doing so “in protest of #9 regarding PPP and other federal funds”.
- If you have already billed and agreed to the attestation then go ahead and still write that letter to your regional center identifying the codes billed.
- DDS plans to re-issue a directive that the attestation requirement is being pulled out of the certification requirements for the March billing.
