"Pregnant people with intellectual disabilities need longer visits and may need visits more often." "Doctors want to make sure that a woman with an intellectual disability understands what is happening during the pregnancy and answers her questions. However, doctors have lots of patients and may not have extra time to spend with one patient. Also, they may not get paid for longer visits or more visits. This makes it hard to provide the best possible care."
The text says: "Read our the Pregnancy Care for Women with Intellectual Disabilities brief on our website to learn more." It has a cover of the brief with a QR code to access the brief.

Meanwhile, #Alaska member Cindy Hensley and her peers penned an op-ed for @adn.com about the need to #SaveMedicaid as a critical lifeline for disabled Alaskans who want to live independently, maintain their employment and thrive in community.
We love to see it, especially during #DDAwareness Month!
It's #DDAwareness Month, and ANCOR members understood the assignment: educate *everyone* about the value of #Disability services.
For example, #Colorado member Tara Kiene's column in the @durangoherald.bsky.social shows the harmful effect of cuts to #Medicaid.
