🌍✨ International Day of Persons with Disabilities ✨🌍

Today, on International Persons with Disabilities Day, we want to take a moment to honor the incredible individuals who make our community stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.We care deeply about creating an environment where every person feels seen, respected, and empowered. Whether it’s through accommodations, understanding individual challenges, or simply showing up with kindness, we are committed to doing our part.

Today and every day, we stand with our community. 💙💚
Here’s to continuing the work toward accessibility, inclusion, and dignity for all.

Idaho's Medicaid cuts are putting disability services, including developmental disability agencies on the brink of closing their doors. These services help children and adults with disabilities learn vital life skills, communicate and live as independently as possibly.

If these providers cannot stay open, families will lose access to developmental therapy, personal care and other essential supports that make daily life possible. This isn't just about numbers on a budget - it's about real people who depend on these services to thrive.

Now is the time to speak up!

Please contact your legislators and ask them to protect developmental disability agencies and home care services from Medicaid cuts. Tell them that Idaho must value and sustain the professionals who teach and care for our loved ones.

Every voice matters! Together we can make sure Idaho continues to support the people and programs that strengthen our communities.

This week we celebrate our Direct Service Professionals. Chrysalis is blessed with the most amazing team of professionals!

Each day you show professionalism, kindness, caring, expectations and love for the friends that we serve. You bring joy, flexibility and laughter to each day! You do all this while teaching and providing therapies and developing curriculum that benefits everyone at their level.

You are the most terrific group of Gumby's that I have ever seen!

Thank you to Andrew, Bertha, Brian, Jeff, Karen G, Linda, Maddi, Rene, Rue and Sarah! You are the best!

(Thank you also to Carla, Crystal, Dave and Vanessa - we miss you!)

Though they are not Direct Service Professionals, everyone at Chrysalis jumps in where needed so I can't end the post without a thank you to Karen H, Lexy, Paula and Rosanne.

I am honored and grateful to work with all of you!
