This Real Person Needs Real Supports: With Guest Calli Ross

  • サマリー

  • Calli Ross returns to the show to discuss a bill currently making it's way through the Oregon state legislature. Named for her son, Tensy's law will make good on the legislative intent behind OR SB91 passed in 2023. SB91 created a waiver for children with very high disability related support needs to pay their parents as direct support professional (DSP) providers under Medicaid Home and Community Based Services. However, SB91 also created a lengthy waitlist, with only about 10% of otherwise eligible children having access to parent paid caregiving. Tensy's law will ensure that all eligible children can receive supports by paying their parents as caregivers.

    There will be a hearing about Tensy's law at the Oregon state capitol on Feb 4, 2025 which happens to be Tensy's birthday!

    Find information about the Feb 4th 2025 hearing here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Eqk88uixr/
