Dictionary v Thesaurus A dictionary has a word on top, and the riding underneath goes on to use words found in a Thesaurus -in order to- make way for a point to be understandable. Hearing the Language is our Disability here. It gets horded away between the lines and returns only after it's refused to the descriptors. In other words, this is all new to the lot. And if it's new to the lot its too late for policy writers who haven't yet appeared. That left jobs here and the place is just east of an Eagle bearing coin.

The discrimination against people with disabilities today is terrible

Individuals with profound autism need higher supervision in day programs to benefit from them. If not, they are left sitting, stimming, wanting to leave. Yet, day programs can say we only have 1:10 cuz that’s all that’s required and they cannot afford more staff. So, what can we do about this. Can waiver pay for a personal care attendant on the waiver to attend a day program with the individual so they can actually participate? I’m looking for answers from you because I’ve already tried many other avenues.
Hi there, please visit: disabilityrightsar.org/how-to-get-help/ and our Intake Advocate will reach out to you.
How are day programs in AR getting away with using waiver funding if they are not integrating them into the community. All some do is keep them in the building doing occasional art activities
Where can i get help with a lawyer for someone being given guardianship over my son. I was not even told anything about it. A cop came n told my sister to give me papers that said another person now had guardianship of my child. Also in these documents from court It plainly states the school violated my privacy rights by telling her what i said and expressed during my childs IEP MEETING. Things are grossly exaggerated and fabricated throughout the entirety of the documents I received

Has the ADA ever been used to make Com's Make them give verbal explanations to people like myself? I have been highly Dyslexic & the 2nnd worse ADHD paitianant he has ever tested. These mental health problems are very difficult for me to get people to communicate orally, Medical conversation is nonexistent. I don't know what to do, They won't listen or take the time to explain. More times than not, I'm not given any needed information about my health. And rushed out the door. CAN THE Ada be used without a high cost to me?

Why is there not more emphasis on this topic ? The ADA was created to combat this. How are systematic issues like this still occuring
Great episode! Always good to see Tanner and Shannon. Good work Kerri, Ally and Tom!
