Dear NACDD Friends – my apologies for not sharing this with you all yesterday but here is the link to a segment that was orchestrated by our colleagues at The Arc of the US and a local Arc in NY profiling how families are coping. It’s quite well done and touches on many issues including the HEROES Act provisions, stimulus checks, and the tough decisions families have had to make as well as DSPs. Congrats to our friends at The Arc for raising awareness on a multitude of issues impacting the lives of people with I/DD and families right now.
