“So far on this single bill, an amendment was offered the night before the committee slashing their continuation from 8 to 2 years without ever communicating with ASDB; the GOV Committee time was moved up by an hour with less than 24 hours' notice, causing the community to scramble to notify those wishing to speak…”

Try talking to the community before you speak on their behalf.
You know that the Conference Committee recommend 8yrs., the House passed 8yrs., the community asked for 8yrs.
Senator Hoffman is dragging his caucus down with him. – at Phoenix, AZ
Senate Republicans are fighting to ensure students and families of the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and Blind receive the best education possible.
On the other hand, Senate Democrats are pushing for inequities within this community by refusing to support the oversight needed to guarantee these students are being properly served. Absolutely disgusting!
Senator Hoffman explains why an 8-10 year continuation of these schools without proper oversight would be a big mistake.

“Autistic people deserve a happy childhood and to be able to develop in their own way. And by the way, autistic people make friends with other autistic people – no eye contact necessary.”
I'm tired of hearing the same arguments that ABA therapists use over and over again, so I wrote a new post that breaks them down here:

A bill to continue the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind will get a hearing March 29 in Senate Government Cmte, says chairman Sen. Jake Hoffman. Asked if there will be changes to HB2456 -which would keep the school operating for another 8 years - he said "watch the hearing."

Do you have a renewed interest in serving in state government now that we have a new executive leadership team?
Consider serving on one of #Arizona's 200+ boards or commissions.

This week, I was interviewed by a @TIME magazine journalist about the authenticity of DEI efforts after George Floyd's murder.
Do you think all those 2020 diversity promises were fulfilled?

There is no fairness. There is no rationale. Self advocacy doesnt redistribute power, it invites retaliation. Let's be honest, how many people use self advocacy to secure what they need? Not many. Let's stop pretending that individual actions can solve systemic harms. 3/5

Thank you, @meekslisa for validating DWD experience. “Compared to their nondisabled peers, physicians with disabilities had a significantly higher likelihood…of experiencing every measure of mistreatment from patients and coworkers” #docswithdisabilities
64% of physicians with disabilities experience some form of mistreatment. This is a huge factor in the attrition of physicians of disabilities from our workforce.
