Tell Governor Carney and your legislators that you support full funding for the McNesby Act.

 

What should i say?

  • I’m calling regarding full funding for the McNesby Act.

  • The state is underfunding programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

  • Additional funding is important. Hundreds of adults with disabilities have elderly parents - when these parents are gone their children could be institutionalized.

  • Direct Support Professionals do heroic work for low pay. This leads to high employee turnover, which can lead to substandard care, which could lead to tragedy.

  • Better-trained staff that stays on the job longer will result in better care and a safer environment for adults with I/DD, and help prevent costly hospitalizations and institutionalizations.
