To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of the Developmental Disabilities (DD) Committee of the Arlington Community Services Board, I am writing to support the extensive comments and recommendations of the Virginia Abilities Alliance (VAA) regarding the current Medicaid Waiver structure, and to highlight specific areas of concern.
The Arlington DD Committee consists of the families of clients who receive Waiver services, who are on the waiting lists, and whose members are not eligible for waiver services. In addition, a number of day, employment, and residential services providers regularly attend our meetings, adding an important provider perspective. The comments below align with recent discussions during our meetings combined with the experiences of individual families. They are listed in priority order:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on these regulations.
Sincerely,
Carol Skelly
Chair, Arlington Community Services Board Committee on Develpmental Disabilities
