INTRODUCTION

• American Disability Association supports children
  with disabilities, as well as their families, so
  they may live abundant lives.
• As a network of support and resources, ADA
  creates new opportunities that empower and
  enhance the quality of life for children living
  with Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and
  other disabilities.
• Many individuals and families managing a
  disability are not aware of the wide array of
  services available to them, or they do not know
  how to apply for these benefits in a way that is
  likely to succeed. ADA fills those gaps where
  schools, insurance, and regional centers fail to
  offer the services your family requires.

We believe

• Transparency, integrity, and excellence are key
• ADA believes that an organization should be
  devoted to integrity, accountability, and
  excellence in all it accomplishes.
• Collaboration is essential
• ADA believes that we together should all work for
  the common good, because children deserve
  compassion, encouragement, and respect.
• Diversity is beautiful
• ADA believes that children with special needs
  have the right to equal treatment and the chance
  to live in a healthy, inclusive environment
• Children Come First
• ADA believes that all children with disabilities
  are defined by their own gifts, capabilities, and
  intrinsic value, not by their disability.

In-Home Supportive Services

• In-home supportive services (IHSS) is a
  california government program that provides
  financial assistance for caretakers of children
  with developmental disabilities, including
  autism, cerebral palsy, and down syndrome.
• Ihss and Protective Supervision
• Protective supervision is part of the IHSS
  program in california. It is for children who
  need to be supervised twenty-four hours a day,
  seven days a week to minimize injury to
  themselves. When you are approved for protective
  supervision, you receive an hourly wage to stay
  home and care for your child. This wage is exempt
  from federal income taxes.

Home Care Support Services Appeals Resources

• Home care supportive services can provide crucial
  benefits for families of children with
  developmental disabilities.
• (Ihss), you probably know that for many, getting
  approved on your first try is a challenge. You
  now face a low amount of hours, or a complete
  denial for services.
• The odds were against you if you did not
  sufficiently prove your childs disability. If
  you now have, or fear that you will have a denial
  letter in your hand, heres a step-by-step
  approach to help you in appealing and winning
  your case.
• Protective supervision, part of the ihss program,
  can be of great value for children with special
  needs like autism or down syndrome, who need to
  be observed 24 hours per day to protect them from
  injuries, hazards, or accidents.
• Youve had to cut your hours or you cant work at
  all because you have to stay home. It makes
  receiving a denial even more stressful.
• If you have been denied benefits, you can appeal
  this decision.
• An appeal system known as a due process hearing
  is an excellent tool for parents who have been
  denied benefits for their disabled children. This
  process provides you with another chance to prove
  that your family qualifies for financial
  assistance.
