Parkinson’s patients continue to grow in number. Visibility to this disease is seen in all aspects of our lives. Today Parkinson’s can be very normal work conversation when it wasn’t before. Celebrity death talk at the water cooler frequently includes the word Parkinson’s. Think about your work for a minute. Does your organization have a focus on disability awareness and advocacy? Really ? Does it? Do you have a Parkinson’s Hero in your organization? Many of us are always looking for things to get behind. Why not get behind your team. Does it make sense to give a Hero walk a go. Participation in these Hero walks just might be a way to communicate and strengthen your support both internally and in your communities. We are participating in the Grand Rapids Hero walk. Need a team to join. We are listed in the choices. We would love for all to join us in person or in spirit. It is a fun day. Give it some thought and hope to see you there.

When Will was born with a rare genetic disorder, his family's long journey began. He lives with multiple disabilities. His family sought help from the public school system, but they found they needed additional support as Will approached adulthood. Filled with uncertainty about Will’s future, the Park Family turned to Bobby Dodd Institute. BDI’s Benefits Navigation team guided Will’s family through the process of applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) when Will turned 18. Together, the Benefits Navigation team and the Parks developed a futures plan for Will and secured approval for a Medicaid waiver—a major win, after being on a waiting list for 10 years. Through working with individuals like Will, BDI has developed a unique process that we are now sharing in the following paragraphs. In this blog post, you will find essential guidance to help you understand the Georgia Medicaid waivers, learn about the likelihood of receiving benefits, explore the application process, and gain an understanding of the ways to identify the most suitable services for your specific needs.
