Falso Stereotypes (EVV)
 

From NCIL (National Council on Independent Living) - Position Opposing Electronic Visit Verification:

"This EVV requirement, based on false stereotypes that disabled people and seniors are helpless and homebound, only serves to infantilize and discriminate against older and disabled Americans who require personal care and home health services."
