Strip away the clinical jargon and the scary words that have totally different meanings in society, and experience the beauty in the small but mighty progress. Functional independence looks different for everyone. We like to help people be independent in their own way.

Families are losing access to clinically necessary supports because decision-makers don’t understand the realities facing the people those services are meant to help.

For years, we've tried to be diplomatic.

We have attended meetings, joined discussions, modified plans, & requested guidance. We have collaborated with schools, payers, state agencies, & reviewers. We have sat at tables where everyone agreed that children with disabilities deserve meaningful support.

When did "be collaborative" become "accept barriers that harm the people we're supposed to serve"?

We're seeing treatment plans dissected, school-readiness skills dismissed, & services scrutinized by individuals who often have little understanding of what it takes to support children with significant needs.

We want to be very clear: we support oversight, accountability, criteria for service access, & the responsible use of resources.

We do NOT support decision-making that removes supports from children & families while claiming to improve care.

When reviewers deny foundational skills, they are rejecting the building blocks that help a child learn, communicate, participate in school, navigate their community, & gain independence.

When collaboration is blocked, & behavior plans are driven by convenience, & families are forced to choose between inadequate support or no support, the person in need of support suffers.

As a rural provider, we've spent years fighting for access, collaboration, & meaningful transitions into less restrictive environments. We've celebrated successful integrations, & we've also watched children return to intensive services after supports that were working were abandoned.

We're done sugarcoating the consequences.

The reality is that every hour removed, every effective goal denied, & every evidence-based support dismissed has a human cost.

We will continue to advocate. We will continue to collaborate whenever collaboration is possible. We will continue to follow the regulations that govern our services.

But we will not stay silent when systems, policies, or decisions jeopardize the outcomes of the people we serve.

Yes, yes we are. Thanks for asking!

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a specific profile within the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that has caregivers ripping their hair out everywhere.

The good news is, an individual's deeply rooted need for autonomy doesn't have to clash with task expectations, AND there is a path forward from fight/flight/freeze mode in response to a demand, AND some pretty darn amazing people have this profile and have become incredibly successful people.
