How to Be Your Best Advocate with State Agencies When Fighting for Services

Parenting Impossible – The Special Needs Survival Podcast

Celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we're taking a deep look into ableism and its effects on disability rights. Host Annette Hines is joined in this conversation by Peter Morin, an attorney from the Special Needs Law Group who is committed to providing a voice for the vulnerable and ensuring they receive the essential services they need. By battling the discrimination that stems from the misguided notion that individuals with disabilities are inherently inferior, we aim to make a change, and you can help, too, by spreading awareness with the hashtag #ADA33. Navigating state agencies and organizations can be a daunting task, but Peter shares his invaluable insight on the matter. Do you know the importance of strategic planning, asking the right questions, and the precision required while filling out forms? Peter underscores these crucial elements, reminding us all that expressing urgency can potentially prioritize your case, providing needed waivers and exemptions. This episode also shines a light on the challenges families face while providing proof of their loved one's disability and the importance of having the right paperwork at hand. Peter also talks about the power of gratitude. In the seemingly small act of saying thank you, we can forge stronger bonds and make a difference in the lives of those striving to improve the world for individuals with disabilities. Peter encourages us all to take action, no matter the scale, because every small act contributes to changing lives, one life at a time. So, join us in this crucial conversation and be a part of the change.
