I am writing to say that I strongly support the comments on the waiver made by the Virginia Ability Alliance. As an elderly single parent of a young woman with intellectual disability, I know from experience the real-life difficulties of the issues discussed by the Virginia Ability Alliance. Those of us who live in Virginia desperately need for the state to allocate more resources to the many difficulties and challenges faced by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. It is a difficult road to travel at the best of times, and many of us have never experienced a viable combination of resources and assistance.
