Free Zoom webinar – RSVP for the link
Parents all across the country are having a hard time keeping up with and filtering through the noise of what cuts to public funding, changes in the Department of Education, and other legislative changes are being proposed.
Here to give us some clarity is Aaron Carruthers, Executive Director of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities. Join us for an update on the legislative landscape and learn:
- What changes are being proposed, and by whom, and when?
- What happens if these changes go into effect (e.g. if Medicaid funding is cut, what does that mean for Regional Center services, or Medi-Cal)?
- What can parents do if they want to help influence the scope or areas of cuts?
Aaron will provide a one-hour training on recent updates with Medicaid and how parents can tell their story to policy makers. After the training, parents can submit their concerns for a 30-minute Q&A about what concerns are at the top of their mind.
Please RSVP to receive the link to the webinar! If you can’t attend the event live, you can RSVP anyway to receive the replay in your email.
