Check out the list of committee members on page 3 👋🏾 I participated in the ad hoc committee that put this together! I’m so proud of the contributions I was able to make towards this report! 🥰😊

If you or your family find the DD waiver waiting list process difficult to navigate, you are not alone.

VBPD found in its recent assessment of Virginia’s disability services system that many people on the DD waiver waiting list and their families cannot easily find out their current status, priority level or next steps.

That’s why VBPD recommends that the state offers a centralized, secure, user-friendly portal where applicants can see their real-time waiting list status. It would show applicants their priority level, next steps and the contact information of their support coordinator.

For my middle minion, his accommodation was having access to music or sounds during class. Had to fight to have earbuds and his phone as an accommodation on his IEP.

It was well worth the fight! 😊
