As a parent who has navigated the complex system of Objective Written Documentation Form, I am appalled at the idea of reverting to the old process. The countless hours spent compiling records and forms took precious time away from my child’s care, leaving us exhausted and drained. This is not just a paperwork burden; it’s a direct attack on our ability to support our children. Reverting to this exhausting process will only further marginalize families already doing everything possible to support their loved ones. 

I strongly oppose the Application for 1915(c) HCBS Waiver: Draft VA.004.05.03 section that focuses on amending rules set by HB909/SB488 when an (LRI) is the paid aide/attendant for the personal care service. The potential loss of the current system threatens the consistent and expert care my child requires, and this is a fear shared by many families in similar situations, amplifying the urgency of this issue.
