​In this BONUS expert discussion episode of Super Adaptables, hosts Corey and Jonathan speak with Carol Scully (Director of Advocacy at The Arc Connecticut) about the pressing challenges and opportunities facing the state’s disability safety net. The conversation dives deep into Connecticut’s legislative landscape, exploring topics such as Medicaid funding, housing access, SSI policy changes, and the broader implications of federal policy shifts on the disability community.

This year on Super Adaptables, we’re diving deep into social safety net programs - a new topic each month with weekly episodes - exploring how they function, their challenges, and their impact on all our lives.
