If you can’t get where you need to go, it affects your job, your social life, and your independence.

Earlier this year, ABLE NH hosted a Transportation Lunch & Learn focused on non-medical transportation through Medicaid waivers. We talked about how people with disabilities in New Hampshire can use this service for everyday life, not just appointments.

This service can help pay for things like:
• Bus or rail passes
• Taxi or Uber rides
• Mileage reimbursement
• Transportation vouchers
• Learning how to use public transportation

It can be used for shopping, work, community events, visiting friends, and more. Medical appointments are not included, but many other trips are.

If you are on a Medicaid HCBS waiver, this option can be added at any time. You do not have to wait for your annual review. The first step is talking with your service coordinator and setting a goal that includes transportation.

Disability rights advocate Bob Kafka dead at 79

by NPR

Bob Kafka, a renowned disability rights advocate, died at his Austin, Texas, home on Friday. He was 79 years old.

Kafka was an organizer with ADAPT (American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today), a group which advocates for policy change to support people with disabilities

"Maybe it was helping somebody tie their shoes and the next moment, maybe it was helping feed them, or maybe it was raising money through the fun run, or maybe it was negotiating with federal officials"
