Families and parents of children with disabilities, we want to hear your stories!

The U.S. Justice Department says Alabama is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by limiting community-based services, forcing parents to choose between leaving their jobs to become full-time caregivers or sending their children to nursing homes.

The state could face a federal lawsuit if changes aren’t made soon.

If you or someone you love has been impacted, we’d like to hear from you. Contact WBHM reporter Noelle Annonen at [email protected] or 205-645-5778.
