May 6th 2009 7PM 295 Main Street South Woodbury, CT 06798	Transportation-the Senior Mini bus for each of the surrounding towns will transport disabled individuals as long as they are not in the school system. At this time, the schedule has to follow the senior route, if we can show enough of a need we can petition for an additional bus strictly for disabled individuals, this will help with the transporting of back and forth to a job, etc... for additional info or a copy of the mini bus schedule for your town, Contact us. Insurance- Medicaid insurance forms are available through us, as well as assistance filling the form out. We discussed a pilot program for Autistic individuals that is currently running in New Haven and Hartford Counties, one of our moms is working to bring it here, we discovered that it sounds incredibly similar to the ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) Waiver and we are currently researching to see if this is in fact true. The State of CT also has a program for ANYONE ages 19-64 who is unable to get health insurance, it is the Charter Oak Plan, and is open to residents of CT. IT IS NOT MEDICAID, it is a low premium cost health insurance, your premium is based on your income. for more info or an application to either of these programs Contact us.
