EVV treats us like children who can't manage our own lives
 

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) seems to operate under the assumption that people with disabilities have a very limited existence.  There's no respect for our privacy.  There is no awareness that we do the same things as people without disabilities, such as work, shop, travel and have families.  EVV steals the autonomy of people with disabilities and our right to live freely.  It treats us like children who can't manage our own lives.
