Show Notes
Families in Nebraska are fighting for fairer support for their loved ones with developmental disabilities and acute illnesses. The interRAI assessment tool used for the Developmental Disabilities waiver often understates care needs, leading to reduced funding that doesnt match real-life demands. Parents and leaders argue that funding caps ignore extraordinary requirements, and a priority bill has been introduced to force clear explanations of assessment results. With less than two weeks left in the legislative session, families hope for quick action to ensure fairer support moving forward.
