Home Repairs for Good, formerly known as NeighborLink Indianapolis, is a nonprofit that helps seniors make home repairs.

A change to Indiana's law governing the alternate diploma will let more students with disabilities graduate high school. The change will affect school districts throughout the state, but it will have the biggest impact in some of the states smallest schools.

Legislation heading to the governor's desk will expand several state education programs and increase funding for some students. Indiana's Education Scholarship Account program will open up to the siblings of students who have disabilities, and students utilizing Career Scholarship Account funds could use that money to pay for driving instruction.

More than 1,600 children with disabilities would be impacted by the states proposal to change how their caregivers are compensated through Medicaid. The Family and Social Services Administration said the growth of the program is unsustainable.

Around 50 people gathered at the Indiana Statehouse to protest proposed changes to the state’s Medicaid programs. The changes would end payments that thousands of families of adults and kids with disabilities relied on.

Some people with disabilities are caught up in the Medicaid unwinding process and losing their coverage despite their best efforts.

The program has expanded to 36 colleges, and it found a new home in Eskenazi Health. Employers including Eli Lilly, the Indiana Pacers and the Indianapolis Children’s Museum have taken on interns.

Some county clerks will be notified of obstructions that could hinder voting by disabled Hoosiers.

Proceeds from a farmers market this week will support a local organization that transports youth with disabilities from low-income households.

State officials will soon create a registry of direct support professionals or DSPs who provide in-home care to people with mental and developmental disabilities. The goal is to track abuse and neglect. Advocates say the registry only partly addresses systemic issues that harm workers and clients alike. They say "self-directed care" may be a fuller solution.
