The Florida Developmental Disabilities Council (FDDC) is a non-profit organization funded through federal assistance from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Developmental Disabilities. The Council accomplishes its mission by supporting innovative initiatives that demonstrate new approaches to enhance the independence, productivity, inclusion and self-determination of individuals with developmental disabilities in all facets of community life.
Bewildered and frightened parents are asking how they will be able to care for their child. For some, the only alternatives are sending their child to live in a state institution or a nursing home, which are much more expensive than keeping the family member in the home with some state assistance. The Tiers are also impacting the economic well-being of individuals with disabilities and their families, as well as the businesses that provide services to those individuals and their families. Many individuals with disabilities want to be as independent as possible, to work and live in their own home like everyone else. But to do that, they need supports which are now being taken away. One individual, who lives in a group home and goes to work five days a week, depends on state funding to pay for transportation expenses to help him get to and from work. He was told he will lose a good portion of that financial assistance, which means he could lose his job and wind up sitting at home watching TV all day.
