Our Voices Matter: Preserve Our Choice
Floridians living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) must continue to have access to a stable service delivery system that includes the array of services and options needed to meet their specialized needs. A dependable system helps people with I/DD live and work in their communities and stay as independent as possible.
The Florida Development Disabilities Council, Inc. urges policymakers to preserve both the iBudget and the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Comprehensive Managed Care Program (ICMC). Having both options allows people with I/DD and their families to choose the program that best fits their long-term needs.
