    they typically work with parents but my parents kinda failed in the "get daughter appropriate services" department.

    i need a #medicaid waiver or something. but i don't have medicaid and am not sure how to go about getting it/qualifying.

    it's always in danger too.

  6. @AbandonedAmerica it really struck home for me as well. All the talk coming from the right about putting the #unhoused and #IDD (Intellectual and developmental disabilities - thank you for the updated terminology too) in places like this again.

    We forget too quickly. Keep up the good work!
