Welcome to American Disability Association

• 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.
• This includes providing them with a safe
  environment, resources for therapies, the
  opportunity to learn, and the financial
  assistance to live a fulfilling life.

In-Home Supportive Services

• What Is In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)
• In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a program
  designated to help children as well as the
  elderly who have disabilities to safely remain in
  their own homes when they are not able to fully
  care for themselves. It is an alternative to
  out-of-home care in nursing homes and
  institutions.
• In-Home Supportive Services provide crucial
  financial benefits for families of children with
  developmental disabilities. Unfortunately,
  applying for and receiving these benefits are
  notoriously difficult and many families give up
  after encountering road block after road block.
• 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 is the best financial program offered in
  California. In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is
  a Medi-Cal program that provides support to
  children with special needs such as personal care
  and assistance with household chores so they can
  remain in their own homes.

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.
