'When people with disabilities can work, volunteer and participate, communities thrive. When families have stable support, they stay healthy and in the workforce. Public dollars are spent more effectively.

It is time to ask harder questions. Why do we hold individuals accountable for fitting into their communities but rarely hold communities accountable for including them? Why do we fund lifelong supports through a health insurance structure designed for acute medical care? Why do we reward compliance instead of outcomes that matter — friendships, independence, belonging?"

The RISE Act would make college more accessible for students with disabilities by requiring colleges to accept documentation like IEPs or 504 Plans instead of forcing students to pay for expensive new evaluations.

Right now, many students who had supports in K–12 lose access when they go to college simply because of paperwork or cost. The RISE Act would change that — ensuring transparency around accommodations, making it easier for eligible students to get the support they deserve, and helping them focus on learning instead of endless bureaucracy.
