Our Legislative efforts have led to our Texas DeafBlind Multiply Disabled
("DBMD") Medicaid Waiver being extended to include children, the establishment
of a career ladder for interveners with respectful pay within the Waiver program,
pay raises for the interveners each legislative session, additional slots on the waiver
so more individuals could gain access to services, and most recently increased
service hours to maintain the same level of services. Currently, we are legislating
for additional slots and an inflationary increase to the Waiver caps.
