We talk with Jenny Price about home and community based services for people with disabilities. We touch on the history of people with disabilities, what it took to gain the current levels of public support for care in the community as well as why so many people in the disability community are concerned about loosing such supports. We talk about why it is important for people to receive services in their choice of settings.

Jenny is the Executive Director for the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities. Prior to this, she was an award winning journalist reporting for the Associated Press.
