@MayorGallego @IBCCES @DebraStarkPHX @CityofPhoenixAZ Glad to! Thanks for your prompt response.

@AzCapitolTimes Are there any updates on this?

[AZ Developmental Disabilities Planning Council @AzDDPC]

Students in #AZ w/ disabilities are facing many changes behind the scenes in programs, local & national, fueling their supports. Join us Aug. 14 for a Q&A + panel to talk about how to prepare: https://t.co/flnOyoNkht

This is a hard watch. But we felt it necessary to remind the @CityofPhoenixAZ & each of its councils & boards the #disability community deserves respect & dignity from all official employees. When they fail that standard, accountability is vital to retain trust @MayorGallego

What officers did to Tyron McAlpin literally makes people "sick to their stomach."

We're still investigating how their discipline disappeared.

@DaveBiscobing15 Thank you for covering this important story that would have been easy to move on from - but #Phoenix and #Arizona residents w/ #disabilities deserve this focus.

Just a few more hours for #Arizona leaders to consider adding group home monitoring funding to the final state budget - if independent oversight is important to you, contact leadership! #advocacy #disabilities #azleg

People in #AZ with developmental disabilities deserve to be safe, cared for, and free from neglect, especially in severe weather conditions...in the Valley, that means summertime! #extremeheat #phx #safety

Many airports will soon be required to provide changing tables for adults with disabilities. Now, federal officials are seeking input on how to implement the new mandate. The U.S. Access Board is now seeking public comment. https://t.co/bCPCYMbfr8

Yes, our 5-Year Plan...Public Comment Survey is NOW OPEN! This plan will guide the Council’s work to improve the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in #AZ
