Real Risks to CRAs

Sometimes the best parents and caregivers have CRAs filed on their child. Sometimes parents and caregivers are advised or pressured by schools, hospitals, and other places to file the CRA themselves. CRAs are often described as a way to access resources to support the child – but this is not how it usually turns out. PPAL advises parents to stop, think, and ask for help before filing a CRA.
