VOTING & You,
Voting & Your Loved Ones
VOR is a national non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization and endorses no party in the upcoming elections. We have members on both sides of the aisle, and many of our members fall somewhere outside of their party's platforms - agreeing on some issues while finding themselves at odds with their party's platform on others.
Our goal is not to tell you who to vote for, or against, but to encourage you to participate in this election.
We hope that our families will look carefully at the issues, the parties' platforms, and read from a wide range of news sources to determine for themselves which issues matter to them and which candidates best represent their views.
But what about our loved ones with I/DD and autism? Some of them do have the capacity to vote for the issues important to them. Others may not. We aren't sure what qualifies one person with ID/A or disqualifies another. There are no guidelines here, so it appears to be up to the parents or guardians to make such a determination.
We encourage our families to consider these issues.:
- What is the cut-off date for registering your loved one to vote?
- What methods of voting does your state offer?
- What are the rights of people with intellectual disabilities to vote in your state?
- What are the rights of people in long-term care facilities to vote?
- What caregiver assistance is allowed?
- Can your loved one file an absentee ballot?
- If they do vote with an absentee ballot, who is helping them to do so?
- What are your thoughts regarding whether or not to register your loved ones. Do you feel they are capable of making an informed choice on issues that will affect their well-being?
Several of our members have brought up these issues, especially their concerns that they don't want the providers or caregivers at a facility to be steering the ballots for all of their residents toward their own choices in this election. So we do ask our families to consider these issues.
The National Disability Rights Network has two pages of information regarding the voting rights of people with I/DD and autism:
https://www.ndrn.org/resource/voting-accommodations-for-people-with-mental-disabilities/#_ftn2
https://www.ndrn.org/resource/voting-rights-of-institutionalized-people-with-disabilities/
And please remember, we are not the only I/DD / autism group encouraging their members to participate in the election. There are several self-advocacy organizations encouraging their members to vote, and making it very clear which issues concern them.
So check into voting rights for your loved ones in your state.

Resident Advocates Aim to Protect Voting Rights in Long-Term Care Ahead of Election
By Jessica R. Towhey, McKnight's Long-Term Care News, August 8, 2024
With just three months left before Election Day, patient advocates are pushing long-term care facilities to make sure their residents are both registered to vote and able to cast their ballots.
Carrie Leljedal, a family caregiver-turned-advocate, has launched #LTCVotes, a national campaign to encourage nursing home participation nationwide. She plans to request the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reissue guidance originally sent in October 2020 that affirmed residents’ right to vote.
During the pandemic, residents weren’t getting absentee ballots because mail was being restricted over concerns about virus contamination or they weren’t able to go vote in person, Leljedal told McKnight’s Long-Term Care News on Thursday.
“It was going on all over,” Leljedal said. “We heard it repeatedly.”
The ability of seniors to cast their own ballots when they can’t necessarily get to in-person polling places — and the wisdom of allowing them to have a say in national elections — have been crudely called into question this election cycle and in the past.
Leljedal, who is from Illinois and works with the Gray Panthers, hosted a kick off meeting last week to grow support for the long-term care voting rights movement this fall. Facilities must “have a plan to ensure residents can exercise their right to vote, whether in-person, by mail, absentee or other authorized process,” according to the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care.
Leldedal’s passion stems from her son’s experience. When her son, Lynn Ray, turned 18, Leljedal said he was adamant that he register and be able to vote. Unfortunately, he landed in the hospital on election day that year and his dad scrambled to get a letter from the hospital to allow them to get Lynn Ray an absentee ballot.
Now residing in an Intermediate Care Facility for Developmentally Disabled, Lynn Ray wanted to vote as a way to preserve the services he needed.
“When people move into a facility of any kind, they need to retain all their rights,” Leljedal said. “There’s a lot of great places that are making sure their residents are getting to vote, but there’s just as many that aren’t.”

NOTE: Once again, VOR tries to report news in order to keep our members informed. The following story is not an endorsement of any party or candidate. It is news. We have learned over the years that many elected officials whose family members have intellectual disabilities or autism do not support VOR's ideals of choice from a full array of options for all people with ID/A. Many feel that the government has the right to make these choices, not parents.
Tim Walz's Son Gus has a Learning Disorder. Can His Visibility Help Disabled Americans?
By Michael Collins, USA Today, August 21
When Jessica Anacker was in junior high, a teacher pulled her out of English class one day after she was bullied by a student because of her learning disability.
Instead of disciplining the tormenter, “she blamed me for being bullied,” Anacker said.
An angry Anacker fired back, telling the teacher, “It’s your job to take care of it.”
Now president of the Texas Democrats With Disabilities caucus and a delegate at this week’s Democratic National Convention, Anacker is thrilled that there could soon be someone to "take care of" such issues at the highest level of government.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' running mate, has spoken openly and lovingly about his 17-year-old son, Gus, who has ADHD, along with a nonverbal learning disorder and an anxiety disorder. Walz and his wife, Gwen, both former teachers, said recently in a statement to People magazine that they never considered Gus’ conditions an obstacle.
"Like so many American families, it took us time to figure out how to make sure we did everything we could to make sure Gus would be set up for success as he was growing up," the couple said.
"It took time, but what became so immediately clear to us was that Gus’ condition is not a setback − it’s his secret power," they said.
Advocates for Americans with learning disabilities believe the Walz family's openness about their son and their willingness to speak publicly about the experience will raise much-needed visibility that could help others who are going through similar experiences.
“It’s a good thing when people in politics, who are running for office, are comfortable discussing disability issues and don’t view it as a topic that is taboo or something that we shouldn’t discuss,” said Zoe Gross, director of advocacy for the Washington-based Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

Nearly $1 Billion in Funds Left Unspent by Centers for Disabled Californians
By Emily Alpert Reyes, Los Angeles Times, August 20, 2024
Nearly $1 billion allocated for regional agencies that purchase supportive services for Californians with developmental disabilities went unspent in a recent year and was ultimately returned to the state, even as some disabled people and their families said they needed more help.
California provides assistance to people with autism and other developmental disabilities through a system of nonprofits called regional centers, which are contracted with the California Department of Developmental Services. Twenty-one of them exist across the state, each serving a distinct area. More than 400,000 California children and adults are served through the regional centers annually.
The system has been criticized for persistent gaps in spending on services for Californians of different races and in different regions. Families have complained it can be difficult to navigate.
Even after Californians get the green light from regional centers for services, that assistance may not ultimately be provided if staffing agencies or other service providers cannot find workers to do the job. In recent years, regional centers have spent roughly two-thirds of the amount they have authorized for supportive services, according to an analysis of state data provided by the Assn. of Regional Center Agencies.
If the money meant for purchasing supportive services goes unspent at the regional centers, the funds that were allocated are eventually “reverted” to the state. That sum increased more than ninefold in three years, soaring to more than $978 million in the budget year that ended in summer 2022, from $108 million in 2018-19.
In total, nearly $8.9 billion was allocated to regional centers to purchase services in 2021-22. So for every $10 allocated to regional centers for services, more than $1 was ultimately reverted in 2021-22, according to a Times analysis of figures provided by the state. The 11% reversion rate was more than three times the percentage that had been reverted in the previous year.
That same year, 30% of families of children receiving regional center services who responded to a survey said they were only “sometimes” or “seldom” satisfied with the support and services they received.
“It’s astonishing to see how much money is being sent back to the state when there are so many people with developmental disabilities who are not getting services at all,” said Judy Mark, president of the advocacy group Disability Voices United.

Michigan - Non-profit Farm for Adults with Developmental Disabilities plans to go Tuition-Free
By Michael Symonds, WMUK, August 19, 2024
AACORN has been around for over a decade, and now the tuition-based program plans to offer its services for free in October.
AACORN stands for Adult Agricultural Community Options for Residential Needs.
While that may seem confusing, Executive Director Mary Pickett said what they do is straight forward.
“We currently run a farm-based skill building program for adults that have intellectual and developmental differences.”
AACORN teaches these skills on a 40-acre farm in Pavilion Township near Scotts. Members learn through activities, including baking, gardening, sewing and caring for the goats and other animals at the facility.
Pickett said the non-profit was founded by parents of young adults with developmental disabilities who had aged out of school.
“The reality is, for many of them, there isn't a lot for them to do. There are not a lot of programs that serve them. So, AACORN kind of fills that gap.”
The group is supported through donations, grants and selling products members make, like it's best seller, a double chocolate pecan brownie dry mix.
In a world that often focuses on what the developmentally disabled can’t do, Pickett said the activities provided by AACORN teach participants what they can do.
“We absolutely build those skills of feeling like, 'I don't have to be scared to try.'”

New Jersey - Rutgers Club Helps Young Adults with Autism Gain Independence. Now it Could Go National
By Gene Myers, North Jersey . com, August 20, 2024
Frances De Cicco found herself at a crossroads this year, unable to drive and unable to work.
The 22-year-old from Union County has autism, but at her age, she no longer qualifies for the state-funded programs her peers attend to fill out their days and learn life skills. Her mother, Leah, was worried: How could her daughter prepare for the future and gain some independence?
"I won't be here forever," her mother said.
It's a common concern for families and advocates for people with disabilities, who describe the transition out of high school-based special education programs as "falling off the cliff." The money that funds classes offering therapy, instruction and socialization dries up after people turn 21 and age out of the system.
But an initiative created by Rutgers University aims to fill some of that gap, and perhaps show a way forward for young adults with disabilities in New Jersey and beyond.
The Nexus program, which kicked off in the spring at Rutgers' Newark campus, offered a small group of young people on the spectrum the chance to socialize, share and learn with the support of Rutgers students without disabilities. Each week, up to 25 people gathered at the campus' occupational therapy program, which features a kitchen and living area where practical skills could be taught.
Aaron Dallman, an assistant professor of occupational therapy at the Rutgers School of Health Professions, spearheaded Nexus. With a sister on the autism spectrum, he knows how hard it can be for people like her when they have nowhere to go, no decisions to make.
"We saw the potential to leverage our existing class space to meet community needs," Dallman said.
"There is nothing like this in New Jersey," he said. "The Nexus program is a social club meant to support our members in developing social skills and life skills."
The project is funded by the university, so it doesn’t have the eligibility requirements that state programs have. At the same time, Rutgers graduate students are getting experience working with people on the spectrum.
"We have promised funding through the fall, but the challenge will be to continue to find that funding each and every year," Dallman said. "We're very passionate about making Nexus free to members," he added. "So we do not currently bill for insurance. We do not currently require individuals to have waivers like you might have in a day program."
The program is meant to feel more like a club where everyone has a say in what happens, as opposed to a therapeutic environment. The members collaborate, and everyone takes a turn being a leader.
"Our members all help us decide what we're going to do that day or that next week — what are the skills we want to learn," Dallman said.

Oklahoma - DHS seeks Bilingual Case Managers to Grow Services provided to Disabled Oklahomans
By Lionel Ramos Kobu, Oklahoma Voice, August 20, 2024
As the Developmental Disabilities Services division of the state Oklahoma Department of Human Services chips away at a 13-year wait list for its services, the agency is working to hire more case managers to help Oklahomans with disabilities connect with state support programs.
Ryan Stewart coordinates marketing and communications for the Developmental Disabilities Services division. He said the agency is especially interested in hiring case managers who can help serve the increased number of Spanish-speaking Oklahomans applying for services across the state.
“We currently have about 100 Spanish-speaking families going through the process of moving onto DDS services,” Stewart said. “So, we are looking to add additional bilingual case managers to join the dedicated ones we already have on staff and meet the additional need.”
Stewart said as the wait for state waivers to pay for developmental disability services continues to decrease — some families starting the process report wait times of 3 years today, rather than the 13 years they were reporting two years ago – more and more of them speak Spanish.
And while some families have members who are bilingual and can help translate for each other, English proficiency levels vary from family to family.
“That’s why it’s so critical that some of the applicants who apply are fluent in Spanish,” Stewart said. “And English too, of course. Case managers have to be able to meet families where they are and make them feel comfortable, while also helping them navigate access to resources. They need to do both.”

West Virginia - IDD Waiver Rate Raised 15 Percent After Years Of Advocacy
By Emily Rice, WV Public Broadcasting, August 22, 2024
West Virginia’s Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Waiver program connects people with disabilities to home healthcare workers and financial support, helping them live outside hospitals and institutions.
According to a Wednesday afternoon press release from Gov. Jim Justice’s office, IDD providers were notified Thursday that the Bureau for Medical Services (BMS) will increase their waiver rates by 15 percent on Oct. 1.
In 2023, an actuary firm called Myers and Stauffer LC was hired to conduct a rate study of BMS waiver programs by the agency formerly known as the Department of Health and Human Resources. The study recommended a $6.5 million rate increase for the IDD waiver program to hire and retain direct care professionals.
During the last year, BMS officials have testified to legislative committees that there is a workforce crisis in the IDD program.
Gov. Justice addressed the rate increase during his weekly press briefing.
“We worked really, really hard at this,” Justice said. “We got the money, and a lot of people, you know, working, pulling the rope together.”
A waiver rate increase will also take effect in October for family support and personal care rates.
Justice also touted his administration’s efforts to clear the IDD waitlist during his tenure.
“When I got here, we had a terrible waitlist on IDD. It took a little while, but we completely cleared the waitlist,” he said. “Now we got a new one. So we’ve got some folks that are on this new waitlist that we have now, and a goal absolutely before I walk out the door is to clear the waitlist again.”

Iowa - Former Glenwood Resource Center Medical Director Charged with Professional Incompetency
By Clark Kauffman, Iowa Capital Dispatch via Des Moines Register, August 21, 2024
Four years after he was forced from his job amid a wide-ranging scandal at the since-closed, state-run Glenwood Resource Center, the facility’s former medical director is facing allegations of incompetence from the state’s own regulators.
The Iowa Board of Medicine has charged Dr. Mohammad E. Rehman with professional incompetency — an offense that is defined by the board as including malpractice, negligence, a lack of knowledge or ability to discharge one’s professional duties, or a failure to exercise a degree of care ordinarily exercised by physicians.
The board has not publicly disclosed the basis for the charge or publicly stated where or when the offending conduct took place.
Rehman could not be reached for comment.
Court records indicate that as medical director at Glenwood, a state-run residential treatment center for severely disabled individuals, Rehman was the focus of a unanimous vote of “no confidence” from the medical staff in November 2018.
Rehman continued to work at the facility, but resigned in April 2020, with state officials saying the resignation had been submitted in lieu of his termination. His departure followed staff complaints of poor medical care and reports that the death rate at Glenwood had doubled and that a federal investigation had begun into sexual arousal studies the home was planning to conduct on residents.
That same year, Rehman and Glenwood’s former superintendent were among the defendants named in a civil lawsuit filed by six former Glenwood employees, including two physicians and a nurse practitioner.
The lawsuit alleged Rehman had criticized doctors for providing residents with “too much” diagnostic care and treatment, and for sending too many patients to area hospitals for treatment rather than providing treatment using Glenwood staff.
The plaintiffs also alleged Rehman hired a physician at the facility to provide neurological care to Glenwood residents although the doctor did not have any board certifications or experience as a neurologist. In addition, they claimed Rehman directed others to falsify or erase entries in medical records to hide damaging information that Rehman did not want to appear in the regularly audited patient records.
Much of the lawsuit centered on claims of wrongful termination in violation of public policy and on alleged violations of the state’s whistleblower law.

[Please click on blue link to view information about the bill]
VOR SUPPORTS:
S.4120 / H.R.,7994 - The Long-term Care Workforce Support Act - This bill would increase FMAP and offer grants to all DSPs and caregivers for the elderly and for people with I/DD and autism. VOR worked with members of the Senate Aging and Diability Policy Committee and other peer organizations to improve this bill from its original form. It is not perfect, and it contains one major flaw to which we continue to object (the permanent reauthorization of the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration Program) but we will continue to work to improve this bill and remove its flaws.
S.1332 / H.R.2941 - Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act
Sen Maggie Hassan (D-NH) / Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) This bill requires the Office of Management and Budget to establish a separate category within the Standard Occupational Classification system for direct support professionals (i.e., individuals who provide services to promote independence in individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability) for data reporting purposes.
H.R.7267 - Disability Community Act of 2023 To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide a temporary higher Federal medical assistance percentage for Federal expenditures under the Medicaid program that are associated with the cost of compliance with certain Federal regulations with respect to services furnished in certain intermediate care facilities or home and community-based services furnished to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
H.R.485- Protecting Health Care for All Patients Act of 2023
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA-5) - This bill prohibits all federal health care programs, including the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, and federally funded state health care programs (e.g., Medicaid) from using prices that are based on quality-adjusted life years (i.e., measures that discount the value of a life based on disability) to determine relevant thresholds for coverage, reimbursements, or incentive programs.
S.7302 - The Credit for Caregiving Act of 2024 Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO) This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide a nonrefundable credit for working family caregivers. In the case of an eligible caregiver, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year an amount equal to 30 percent of the qualified expenses paid by the taxpayer during the taxable year to the extent that such expenses exceed $2,000. The tax credit is not to exceed $5,000 per year.
H.R. 553 - Workplace Choice and Flexibility for Individuals with Disabilities Act
Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI-6) - This bill would amend the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to clarify the definition of competitive integrated employment.
H.R.1296 - Restoration of Employment Choice for Adults with Disabilities Act Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI-6) - To amend the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to ensure workplace choice and opportunity for young adults with disabilities.
H.R.670 - Think Differently Database Act
Rep. Marcus Molinaro (R-NY-19) - This bill would amend title IV of the Public Health Service Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a clearinghouse on intellectual disabilities, and for other purposes. Such clearinghouse shall include information on individual community-based services and long-term support services available to individuals eligible for medical assistance under a State plan under the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social Security Act.
S.1298 - Supporting Our Direct Care Workforce and Family Caregivers Act
Sen. Time Kaine (D-VA) A bill to award grants for the creation, recruitment, training and education, retention, and advancement of the direct care workforce and to award grants to support family caregivers.
H.R.2965 / S.1333 - Autism Family Caregivers Act of 2023
Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) / Sen. Robert Menendez (D_NJ) To award grants for providing evidence-based caregiver skills training to family caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental disabilities
H.R.3380 - HEADs UP Act of 2023
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) This bill authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants to support health centers that provide services for individuals with developmental disabilities, including dental care. Grant recipients must provide specialized treatment to individuals with developmental disabilities as necessary.
VOR OPPOSES:
H.R.8109 - To Make Permanent the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration Program. MFP has been used to erode the ICF system. We call for congressional hearings, studies by the GAO, and audits by the Congressional Budget Office before any action should be taken to reauthorize this program.
S.533 / H.R.1263 Transformation to Competitive Employment Act
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) / Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA 3) - This bill would support employers who wish to transform their facilities to provide only competitive integrated employment while forcing the elimination of programs that offer employment opportunities under Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. This bill would be unlikely to create a significant increase in employment for people with I/DD and autism, but would deprive over 120,000 individuals of the opportunity to work, develop skills, and be part of their community.
S. 1148 - The Guardianship Bill of Rights
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) - A bill to establish rights for people being considered for and in protective arrangements, including guardianships and conservatorships, or other arrangements, to provide decision supports. This bill would give ACL power to create a Guardianship Council and appropriate more money to P&As so they may encourage people to leave guardianships and move to Supported Decision Making. Dangerous over-reach in response to media hype on Britney Spears, et al.
S.1193 / H.R.2708 - The Latonya Reeves Freedom Act of 2023
Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO) / Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) Allegedly written and strongly supported by ADAPt and other self-advocacy groups, this is a watered-down version of the Disability Integration Act. It is strongly biased against care in larger congregate facilities, and falls just short of seeking the elimination of ICFs.
VOR HAS SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS WITH:
S.100 / H.R.547- Better Care Better Jobs Act
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) Rep. Debbie Dingell (D MI) This bill establishes programs and provides funds for state Medicaid programs to improve home- and community-based services (HCBS), such as home health care, personal care, case management, and rehabilitative services.
The bill also makes permanent (1) the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration Program (a grant program to help states increase the use of HCBS for long-term care and decrease the use of institutional care), and (2) certain provisions regarding Medicaid eligibility that protect against spousal impoverishment for recipients of HCBS.
S.762 / H.R.1493 - The HCBS Access Act
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) Rep. Debbie Dingell (D MI) While this bill purports to eliminate waiting lists and provide more Home and Community-Based Services for people with I/DD and autism, it favors the aspirations of those individuals who are most independent and neglects the very real needs of those most dependent on Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports. It would not distribute funds appropriate to the varying needs of individuals, but to providers of HCBS programs. It fails to recognize the severity of the DSP and Nursing Crises, and paints an unrealistic picture of a simplistic solution. This is a purely political bill that would ultimately fail to make the extensive changes that the DD/A system needs.
S.3118 - The HCBS Relief Act of 2023
Sen. Boby Casey (D-PA) A bill to provide for an emergency increase in Federal funding to State Medicaid programs for expenditures on home and community-based service. This bill, like others above, only provides funding for people receiving Long-Term Services and Supports through HCBS, denying any support for people in nursing homes or ICFs.
VOR supports increasing funding for people with I/DD, but we have concerns that the above bills, in their current form, would discriminate against people with the most severe I/DD and autism and jeopardize the higher-care facilities that are most appropriate to their needs.
