Hi mom
When I first came on ^Medicaid buy-in for working adults with disabilities^ you had to be under the age 65, has that changed? Can you be over 65 with the disability and work and continue to get Medicaid-buy in for disabled adults benefits? (currently they are not counting my assets, for example my savings account) Thank you!
You can check out the most up to date information for Medicaid Buy-In for Working Adults in Colorado here: hcpf.colorado.gov/buy-in-program-working-adults-disabilities
@@thinkchangettt7683 thank you yes you can continue to receive Medicaid buy in after the age 65 which is good news for those of us who are on disability and still need to work😃 even if it is a few hours a month it helps

And even when you report again and again to different agencies in certain states nothing gets investigated. There needs to be mandatory investigation of reports.
We hear you. It's incredibly frustrating when reports go uninvestigated, leaving individuals vulnerable and without justice. It's crucial for people to take every report seriously and conduct thorough investigations to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals. Thank you for raising this important issue.

Good video! But not all people that SOUND like they have an intellectual disability do. I have Cebreal Palsy, and only about 50% of people with CP actually have a ID.
I sound like I have an ID but if you look at my college transcripts you'll see I took 4 semesters of Calculus.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! You're absolutely right. It's important to recognize the diversity within different disabilities like cerebral palsy. Your experience challenges stereotypes and highlights the importance of not making assumptions based on appearance or speech. Please consider following us on Facebook! facebook.com/THINKchangeTTT/

“Bob McDonald” it to explain!
I am capable, and impaired by ableism such as mental age theory. I prove my capabilities and true age every day, which can be exhausting.
It's appalling how ableism, such as the mental age theory, can impede individuals from recognizing their full potential! Keep shining and challenging these harmful stereotypes. Your voice is important, and your efforts to dismantle ableism are making a difference! Please follow us on Facebook! facebook.com/THINKchangeTTT/
AMEN!!! Please treat me as my actual age! I have been fighting mental age theory in policing for years, and have made great strides with Toronto police.
We Neurodivergent persons absolutely can speak for ourselves and speak out when we are victimized.
Absolutely, every individual, including those who are neurodivergent, deserves to have their voice heard and their experiences validated. Thank you for highlighting the importance of self-advocacy within the neurodivergent community.

All are able to learn. We just learn differently.
Autism Spectrum Differences, not disorder.
Impaired, not incapable. I am impaired by a society that does not accept neurodivergence and a difference in learning. Intellectual disability means a person learns differently from a neurotypical person.
Cerebral Palsy does not cause cognitive impairments. It causes motor differences.
Motor and often speaking and communication differences.
The problem with these police training videos is that the “experts” are neurotypical. I have been spending the last several years trying to undo the damage done by these videos, by speaking directly to police services about autism from an autistic perspective.
I have a developmental disability but no “cognitive impairment”. I don’t have dementia. I am autistic.

I've been a DSP for over 20 years. We all know what the issues are. No one want to be honest and talk about the realities of the profession. So...nothing changes if nothing changes

Also true When you don't trust your doctors and the people that you're supposed to because they have not treated you right or made sure that things were honest or fair it puts you in the worst place in the world not trusting anyone a lot of these people have no problems taking advantage of disabled people and they can still sleep at night
It's heartbreaking how some individuals, are let down by the very people they should trust the most-doctors and caregivers. The betrayal and lack of integrity not only erode trust but also shatter any sense of safety and security. No one should ever feel vulnerable or exploited, especially by those in positions of authority. It's a stark reminder of the need for accountability and compassion in the system. Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Please follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/THINKchangeTTT/
