On March 5th, we attended Disability Advocacy Day at the South Carolina State House and scheduled meetings with our State Senators to advocate for better pay and benefits for direct support providers. Direct support providers support people with disabilities so they can maintain independence and live within their communities. We want to share with you our personal experiences with direct support providers, the impact these individuals have on the entire family, why advocacy efforts are necessary and how you can also advocate for direct support providers.
