The Coalition for Self-Direction (C4SD), started in November 2023 “to protect the constitutional right of choice” for New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), is holding a virtual Town Hall to get your questions answered and to get updates from the community.

C4SD recently published the first version of its “Know Your Rights” document. Since then, the org says, some families have been able to use this guide to successfully overturn Community Class reimbursement rejections. However, many others still have questions about how to move forward. At this highly interactive Town Hall, you will:

• Hear about successful challenges to Community Class rejection;
• have the opportunity to ask questions and get clarification;
• learn about new tools.

There are plans to continuously tweak the guide with improvements — and to create additional resources, such as examples of emails and arguments that have worked for others.
