DRC has a resource intended to help you challenge denials, insufficient amount of hours, reductions in hours, and/or the termination of your In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) hours and prepare you for the state fair hearing. When you disagree with a county action, such as a reduction of hours, denial of an IHSS service, program or service termination, or if the County fails to take an action such as reviewing and processing an application you submitted, you can appeal your Notice of Action by requesting a fair hearing. Check out the full resource so you may learn how to request a hearing, notices you may encounter, possible outcomes, and more.

Explore the full resource and learn your rights at the link: https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/publications/ihss-fair-hearings-guide-how-to-prepare-for-ihss-terminations-or-reductions-in-hours

DRC has a library of resources available on our website covering over 20 categories and translated into several languages. Know your rights and become a well-informed self-advocate!

Metro is working to improve transit for neurodivergent riders—and we need your input. We are developing a Neurodiverse Rider Experience Program designed to improve the transit experience for riders with neurological differences.

To support this effort, Metro has launched a survey inviting neurodivergent riders and/or their caregivers to share their perspectives, concerns, and needs, which will help inform future improvements. Responses will directly shape strategies to improve the Metro experience. The survey takes 10–20 minutes to complete and is for adults (18 years or older).

Whether you ride often, occasionally, or are thinking about riding in the future, we’d love to hear your input! Take our survey to help shape a more inclusive Metro experience: https://bit.ly/4b3PXVY
