My daughter has a chance in life on Medicaid. She receives Medicaid waiver funding through OPWDD. Because of this she can actively pursue her interests and have a shot at becoming a supported independent adult. She was born prematurely at 25 weeks. She is now an adult with Autism and developmental delay. However, with Medicaid, she gets supports for safety in the community, so she can attend college. My daughter is gifted with an eye for color. She creates colors from mixing other colors to mimic things in the environment. One day soon she hopes to pursue a career as a colorist.
