Many families are able to utilize a Medicaid Waiver for their child/young adult; this helps make the necessary care and medical supplies available to our families. However, as many of us know, having this available versus receiving it are two entirely different things. Susan and David will talk through and break down some of the big topics right now with regard to the Waiver and receiving these crucial services and care - they'll talk about recent changes to the Waiver and two court cases which could impact many of us in the coming months.

During the episode, we discuss the Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC). Their website is: https://dscc.uic.edu/ . This can get you started on the path of getting on the Medically Fragile Technology Dependent (MFTD) Waiver in the State of Illinois.
