100.000'S+ INDIVIDUALS W/DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WAIT FOR SERVICES

[Guest guest]

PLEASE HELP US OUT BY FORWARDING THIS EMAIL ON TO OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS

AND POSTING IT ON APPROPRIATE LISTSERVS (INCLUDING THIS NOTICE)

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES ARE

WAITING FOR SERVICES

Hundreds of thousand of children and adults with developmental disabilities

are sitting at home with aging parents and guardians, losing school-taught

skills, while waiting for state and federal funding for services. Parents and

children are held “prisoner†in their current state of residence because to

move would require them to lose services or their place in a wait list, and

then have to start at the bottom in another state.

NOEWAIT – the National Organization to End the Waitlist, considers this a

disgrace. Parents and advocates from across the country are joining together

in a collaborative effort to bring national attention to waitlists and

service portability between states, and find national solutions.

Join with us as we develop coalitions among advocacy organizations and state

wait list campaigns in uniting our efforts through NOEWAIT to end waitlists

and gain portability of services.

updated and learn more about solving this critical issue and how I can help.
