I just heard about this proposal to open up the availability of services to individuals with special needs. These are services to assist a family to care for their disabled child at home instead of sending that child off to a government institution / State School.
On yesterday’s Embracing Diversity radio show, we discussed Medicaid Waiver programs and how it takes YEARS to obtain services.
In Texas, as of February 2021, there are 107,747 people on the Interest/Waiting list for the HCS Waiver Program, with people waiting 15-16 years before they receive services. See https://hhs.texas.gov/…/records…/interest-list-reduction for more information. #Medicaid#DisabiltyRights#AttorneyFilis#SpecialNeeds#ASD#MedicaidWaitingLists#MySon#FilisLaw
