Another edition of The Family Cafe Disability Advocacy Hour podcast is here!

Check out the newest installment in The Family Cafe Disability Advocacy Hour Podcast!

In this episode​​ we have a conversation with Tyler Sununu and Courtney Swilley from the Florida Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (FARF). In addition to explaining the role of FARF in the continuum of care, we also discuss this year’s preeminent issue related to individuals with disabilities, an overdue rate increase for direct support professionals. These critical employees are a lifeline for families and the lack of fair compensation makes it extremely difficult for institutions, companies and individuals to attract and retain qualified caregivers. In this episode​ we will discuss the appropriations request and legislative strategy behind this important issue.
