The Intellectual and Developmental Disability (I/DD) Caucus and legislative leaders will assemble to dedicate their focus and attention to hearing from people with I/DD and their families.
Sharing your story:
Your testimony should be your story, in your words. What do legislators need to know about you, your family, and your current situation to help them protect funding and make good policy decisions for people with I/DD?
Please be aware that due to the large number of people in attendance, not all who come will have the chance to testify in person, but everyone can and should submit written testimony.
All testimony submitted to familyhearingtestimony@gmail.com will be made available to legislators on the I/DD Caucus.
Guidelines for preparing testimony:
- Name
- Town
- A thank you to Caucus leaders, and to legislators on the I/DD Caucus for hearing your testimony.
- The name and age of your loved one with I/DD.
- What funding and/or supports if any, do you currently have?
- What do those supports mean to your loved one with I/DD and your family?
- How would losing those supports impact your family?
- Are you on a DDS waiting list for supports?
- How does not having the supports you need impact your family?
- What are your concerns/fears for the future for your loved one with I/DD?
- What can legislators do to help your family?
