Thanks, Shanna, and everyone who attended the IRIS Listening Sessions in Ashland, hosted by ARC of the Northwoods. More than 55 people (two sessions) included participants, families, IRIS Consultants, service providers, TMG personnel, DHS staff and others who are involved with, and concerned for the ongoing viability of this program. As an advocate, grassroots networker and business owner, I'm cautiously optimistic about plans by TMG and DHS to become more transparent in business practices, more rapidly responsive to online billing and related processes, and focused on growing a program that is participant-centered and self-directed. I hope for oversight that assumes that most participants are fiscally responsible and knowledgeable about local resources. I hope that this online forum can serve to answer questions and allay suspicions between all of the players. I hope for future discussions about budget authority and other business practices (such as helping IRIS participants and care providers set reasonable, livable wages appropriate for their region, find local resources, share expertise, etc.). Keep the communications open.
