NICK'S LAW & THE STORY SO FAR

After our experience fighting to get Nick off to college in the summer of 2018. We decided we want to work with council members and state senators to create a law that would make sure other people did not have to re-fight our battle. We're still not sure exactly what happened and we are only just exploring the outlines of what this law might be. Nick did his part getting accepted into college and he was entitled to live in the dorms just like any other student but because the school was unable to provide any help beyond a a single room he would have to share with his live-in aide, that almost didn't happen. Our larger goal is to ensure that people with disabilities get the services they are entitled to in a timely and dignified manner. The personal care attendants also deserve their dignity, better pay and specialized training to be able to creatively resolve problems. Here you can see clips from the media about our story so far and updates from Nick about college life, the problems he is still facing and the solutions we're coming up with.
