At Special Needs Cobb, we believe adults with disabilities deserve the opportunity to live safely and with dignity in their communities.

But right now in Georgia, 1,217 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are in critical or urgent need of NOW/COMP waivers. These waivers provide essential services that help people live in community settings instead of hospitals or institutional care. Advocates across Georgia — led by the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities — are urging legislators to: • Fund 1,217 critical NOW/COMP waivers in this year’s state budget • Hire 26 additional DBHDD staff needed to process and manage these waivers ⏱️ Taking action takes less than 2 minutes. Use the link in our bio to send a message directly to your legislators through the Quorum advocacy platform. Thank you to the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities for their tireless advocacy on behalf of Georgia’s disability community and thank you to everyone who takes a moment to speak up today.
