On this episode of Wednesdays with Wheels, I’m joined by my good friend Heather, who’s a strong voice in the disability community. We’re talking about something that’s hitting way too close to home lately—New York State’s CdPAP program. This program was supposed to help folks with disabilities get the in-home care they need to live independently, but now the state is making it harder than ever to access.
Heather breaks it all down: what’s changed, why it’s such a problem, and how it’s affecting both the people who need care and the caregivers who help them live full, independent lives. It’s a conversation we need to be having.
If you or someone you love relies on this kind of support, or if you just want to understand what’s really going on, tune in—you won’t want to miss this one.
