Nebraska families say the state’s disability services system is failing some of its most vulnerable residents. Now they’re demanding answers.
In this special live edition of The Dan Parsons Show, Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Lynne Walz sits down with parents, disability advocates and State Sen. Victor Rountree for a candid discussion about controversial funding reductions, the state’s interRAI assessment system and the future of developmental disability services in Nebraska.
Families share deeply personal stories about caring for loved ones who require around-the-clock support, and the consequences they fear if state funding is reduced.
Among the issues discussed:
👉 Why families say the interRAI assessment doesn’t accurately reflect their loved ones’ needs.
👉 Funding reductions, appeals and concerns about transparency at Nebraska DHHS.
👉 The financial and emotional toll on parents and caregivers.
👉 Nebraska is abandoning its decades-long commitment to community-based disability services.
👉 What advocates want the next governor and Legislature to change.
Watch the full conversation, hear directly from the families affected and decide for yourself.
