A Story from State House Testimony |
|
Our son Robert is extremely vulnerable to being taken advantage of and is unable to safely care for himself. We need to take the lead in many decisions made on his behalf regarding his care and welfare whether a complex decision about his supports or his medication for a health condition. Despite that, there is no state agency to serve my son when he becomes an adult. He has even been denied eligibility for the Department of Developmental Services (DDS).
