Speak Directly to Leaders: Panel Discussion

The panel brings together people with disabilities and community leaders whose decisions impact people’s rights to live independently and participate in their communities. Panelists will discuss the issues that matter most to people with disabilities, grounded in real experiences and local priorities. Attendees are invited to ask questions and share lived experiences.

Join the Discussion: Community Conversation Table

The Community Conversation Table offers a more informal space to share ideas, concerns, and priorities related to disability, access, and community life. The focus of the conversation will be Indiana’s Medicaid Waiver Reset and how changes may impact consumers. Input gathered from people with disabilities, families, and caregivers helps state leaders and policymakers understand what is needed and what matters most.
