Dear Independent Living Advocate,

 

The Community Choice Act of 2007, amends title XIX of the Social Security Act to make community- based attendant care services an alternative for Medicaid recipients who are "institutionally eligible."   On Tuesday, September 25 the Senate Finance Committee will conduct a hearing on Community Choices Act.  NCIL is collecting testimonies from across the nation that will be entered into the record of the hearing and serve to establish the depth of need and support for this legislation.

 

A member of NCIL's PAS Subcommittee may have already contacted you asking you to submit written testimony or identify someone from your state to submit testimony to the Senate Finance Committee.  If you have already done that, thank you.  If you haven't, there is only six day until the hearing. 

 

Elizabeth Leaf at the NCIL office and I are ready to answer questions and provide assistance if you need it.  Attached is an outline for preparing testimony and talking points.  These may be helpful.  

 

Judy Roy

PAS Subcommittee Chair

 

The intellectual independence and integrity of higher education's classroom faculty have been under attack for some time—by the press, by conservative commentators, and by politicians. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is convinced that it is time take back the classroom on behalf of academic freedom. In a clear and carefully reasoned historic new report, we counter these attacks and lay out the principles of responsible college pedagogy. The full report, Freedom in the Classroom, is available in the September–October issue of Academe , our journal of record, and online. The report differentiates instruction from indoctrination. It addresses demands for "balance" in the classroom and offers a very specific and limited disciplinary rationale for the relevance of balance. It argues forcefully that college instructors have the right—and, some would argue, the responsibility—to challenge their students' most cherished beliefs. The report also takes up the most controversial issue, politics in the classroom, and offers an analysis for your consideration. We adapt an example from a 2007 New York Times column: "Might not a teacher of nineteenth-century American literature, taking up Moby Dick , a subject having nothing to do with the presidency, ask the class to consider whether any parallel between President George W. Bush and Captain Ahab could be pursued for insight into Melville's novel? Might not an instructor of classical philosophy, teaching Aristotle's views of moral virtue, present President Bill Clinton's conduct as a case study for student discussion?" No matter what the discipline, no matter what subject matter or historical period a course description defines, we suggest, the field of contemporary culture and politics is available for comparison, analogy, and contrast. To say this is to reaffirm the life of the mind, to assert that in human culture anything may potentially be connected to anything else. This e-mail is being sent to more than 350,000 faculty and academic professionals in the United States and to tens of thousands in other countries. Not all faculty and academic professionals have the sort of academic freedom we value, but they all need to hear these principles articulated and affirmed. We encourage you to read the full report, discuss it with your students and colleagues, send us your comments, and join our efforts to disseminate this message.

AAIDD F.Y.I. July 2007, Vol.7, No.7 Visit www.aaidd.org/FYI/ to access current and past issues of this monthly newsletter. Subscribe at http://www.responsetrack.net/aaidd/sign_up Dear AAIDD Friends and Colleagues: New AAIDD book provides a blueprint to organizations and communities on how to improve quality of life for people with intellectual disabilities. New report documents the severe housing crisis for people with intellectual and other long-term disabilities in America. Activities of Medicaid agencies nationwide transform institutional systems into community-based programs using federal systems change grants. Why has the Internet become so important to the work of self advocates? Read about it in Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities. National Council on Disability is seeking feedback from local communities on how they handle emergency preparedness and disaster relief for people with disabilities. NEW AAIDD BOOK PROVIDES A BLUEPRINT TO ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES ON HOW TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES Three noted experts—Robert Schalock, Valerie Bradley, and James Gardner—with 110 years in the intellectual disability field—team up to write a book on best practices in introducing the concept of quality of life for people with intellectual disability within organizations and community systems. Written for a primary audience of service providers and policy makers, the authors propose a quality assessment and improvement methodology grounded in person-centered needs and outcomes. The book also contains a review of the federal government's new and comprehensive quality improvement/quality assurance expectations in home and community-based services and contains specific examples of state efforts and results. To download an excerpt from Quality of Life for People with Intellectual and Other Developmental Disabilities or to purchase the book, visit http://bookstore.aaidd.org. For questions, email books@... NEW REPORT DOCUMENTS THE SEVERE HOUSING CRISIS FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL AND OTHER LONG-TERM DISABILITIES IN AMERICA Priced Out in 2006 documents the continued lack of affordable and accessible housing for people with long-term disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, chronic illness, and mental illness. The national average for a one-bedroom apartment is at $715 and a studio/efficiency is at $633, and both are higher than the entire monthly income of people with disabilities who rely on the Supplemental Social Security Income (SSI) program. The report is published by the Technical Assistance Collaborative and the Consortium of Citizens with Disabilities, and is available to read and download at http://www.tacinc.org/Pubs/PricedOut.htm. ACTIVITIES OF MEDICAID AGENCIES NATIONWIDE TRANSFORM INSTITUTIONAL SYSTEMS INTO COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS USING FEDERAL SYSTEMS CHANGE GRANTS In 2000, the U.S. Congress enacted legislation authorizing Real Choice Systems Change grant programs to help states develop the infrastructure needed for seniors and individuals with disabilities to live in integrated community settings, as opposed to being served in nursing homes or institutional settings. Administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, over $243 million dollars have been awarded so far to all the states to support these activities. A new report by the National Health Policy Forum tracks the community-based activities state Medicaid agencies have conducting since receiving these federal dollars. Medicaid is the nation's primary source of financing and delivering community-based health and long-term services to children and adults with disabilities. Click here to read Trading Places: Real Choice Systems Change Grants and the Movement to Community-Based Long-Term Care Supports . WHY HAS THE INTERNET BECOME SO IMPORTANT TO THE WORK OF SELF ADVOCATES?

For your information.

This budget squabble is so hurtful.  There are not enough people contacting their legislators to talk to them about how these cuts could hurt our children and the people we serve through our many programs.

Make your calls.

>>> <dlalumia@...> 5/18/2007 2:20:11 PM >>>
The elusive deal to balance the FY2007 is off again.  After the deal
fell
apart last Tuesday, the Senate upped the ante by passing another bill
adding
to the cuts they had earlier proposed to balance the 07 budget.  In the
most
recent Senate bill, the Medicaid cut for June-September payments is 3%.
The
bill also elimates the entire Public Act 2 funding to counties and
substance
abuse coordinating agencies.  We have been working this issue hard as
have
MAC, MASACA and ALSAO.  We are VERY disappointed with the Senate action
to
take the whole thing.  If you haven't made contacts regarding this
issue, now
would be the time.  If you are communicating with your democratic state

legislators, I would recommend that you asked then to help by seeking
support
from the Governor's office to restore this cut.  I've emailed out
talking
points on the issue.  If you would like another copy, let me know and I
will
email.  This deal has to get done, certainly by the end of May at the
latest.
We will keep you posted.  Thanks for your support of the spring
conference.

Cutting Edge in a City with an Edge: May 2008 The Center for Self Determination is planning to present the International Conference on Self-Determination May 27 to 29, 2008 in Detroit, Michigan. International perspectives on progressive notions of recovery, family supports, community membership, ending forced impoverishment and system change requirements will be part of the focus of the conference. The meetings will feature leaders from across disability and aging and relate the efforts being made across the world to make freedom a reality for individuals with disabilities. As the contract with the Detroit Renaissance Marriot is finalized, registration and room information will be posted on The Center's website and the Michigan Association of Community Health Boards. Nerney challenges CMS audience The 7th Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services New Freedom Initiative Conference "Choice and Independence" held in Baltimore featured Center Executive Director, Tom Nerney. The conference focused on the policies, programs, and tools -including opportunities authorized by the Deficit Reduction Act. Nerney's plenary "The Challenge to Change: From Better to Great: The Meaning of Freedom in Everyday Life" addressed the important historical forces that created and continue to challenge the current system of long-term care. A DVD of Tom Nerney's poignant speech combined with his unconventional PowerPoint presentation developed by Pat Carver is under development at the Center and will be available soon. Contact Billie Nagi to reserve your copy. In the Ownership Society Each month, the EQUITY e-newsletter of the World Institute on Disability challenges readers to narrow the divide between the disability and asset building communities. Equity April 2007 issue "Including People with Developmental Disabilities in the Ownership Society" featured Kern Regional Center (CA) Individual Development Account Program (IDA). The Center for Self-Determination and Kern Regional Center have been collaborating for several years.

Integration of individuals, families, communities and services Early in March, the Dane County Department of Human Services Adult Community Services hosted an exciting learning event bringing together asset based community development with self-determination. Organized by Dennis Harkins from A Simpler Way, Pat Carver, with Community Drive, Inc and Mike Green from the ABCD Institute to deliberately combine the strengths of individuals we serve, their families, the individual budgets and resources available to them, community mobilizing, and our services system. Teams from Dane County explored techniques of asset based community development and began to seed ideas about collective action at building community through individual budgets. (based on the Center's Guaranteeing the Promise of Freedom). To inquire about how this future learning might unfold in your community contact Dennis Harkins Imagine Enterprise Holds Steady in Texas The Center participated in a two day training on self-determination and individual budgeting in Corpus Christi in April. The event was sponsored by American Habilitation Services (AHS) in conjunction with Imagine Enterprises.

The meetings will feature leaders from across disability and aging and relate the efforts being made across the world to make freedom a reality for individuals with disabilities.
