PSA for anyone using self-directed services 👇 One paperwork deadline can shut down your care, remove staff from your file, and force emergency schedule changes. This isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a real access issue. Disabled people deserve systems that work with us, not against us. Here’s the why behind how one piece of paperwork shut down my care: A temporary Social Security receipt expired. The system auto-flagged my staff using a training requirement to catch missing or expired paperwork. She was removed from my file. And my services were disrupted. This isn’t just admin. This is access. Care can’t wait. Save this. Share this. Educate someone. #DisabilityRights #CareCantWait #SelfDirectedServices #DSPLife #DisabilityAdvocacy
