I fully support and agree with all the comments made by the Virginia Ability Alliance regarding the changes to the Virginia Disability waiver regulations. I am a parent of a child with Angelman Sydrome (age 7) who requires full assistance with all ADLs, cannot speak, is not welcome at a traditional day care, and requires many weekly therapies. The DMAS-62 form is a very cursory form that is I’ll equipped to properly assess a disabled individual’s need for personal attendant care services. Without waiver assistance for my child’s care, we will not be able to continue as a two-person working household, which is absolutely necessary. The personal attendant care hours are essential to ensure we can provide attention and care to our other child, as well. I am deeply afraid of the implications of the Waiver changes on my son’s future when I am no longer able to care for him. I again echo all of the comments made by the Virginia Ability Alliance. Thank you.
