Advocating for change
Every day at ADEC, we advocate for the people we serve. We work with our clients to build on strengths and develop skills. We provide assistance as our clients make life-changing decisions. And we walk into workplaces and demonstrate how our clients can not only do the job well, but they also enhance workplace culture. All of this is possible because of the life-changing work of Direct Support Professionals.
And now, the shoe is on the other foot. Our CEO Donna Belusar is hard at work to advocate for Direct Support Professionals to receive a wage their hard work deserves. The good news? These efforts are working! There's now an amendment to increase Medicaid spending so DSPs can receive pay increases in a bill at the state level. The tough news? Passing the bill with the amendment is something you can help make happen, but it's going to take some work. To find out how you can jump and make a difference, please read below.
As always, let us know if you have any stories to share or suggestions for future features. This is your Open Door.
