• Has your CHILD experienced cuts to their PCA or Support

Coordination

services?

• Will your family’s

anticipated assignment to a Tier Waiver reduce your

budget for

needed supports?

If so,

please join us. The Florida Developmental Disabilities Council (FDDC)

is holding

focus groups across the state to get information on how individuals

and families

are being affected by these recent cuts. This information will be

used to

educate Florida policy-makers ~ to help them better understand the

effects of

their decisions on the everyday lives of Floridians with

developmental

disabilities. Please join us and share your story.

If you can

join us, please contact us as soon as possible to reserve your

spot. You

can contact us in two ways:
