@EvanShanley1 has introduced legislation that would ensure that more developmentally disabled adults can self-direct the care they need and want by allowing care professionals to collectively negotiate with the state.
“The goal of this legislation is to ensure that every developmentally disabled adult gets the best quality care possible,” said Rep. Shanley. “Empowering self-directed support professionals will help ensure access to quality care, which in turn will create a more efficient and high-quality system that provides developmentally disabled adults with the care they need.”
