Thursday to make them eligible for state assistance.
Currently, only people with an IQ below 69 qualify as
"developmentally and intellectually disabled."
Lisa Clark brought her son Thursday and read a letter from
him.
“Why should I need disability support? Because for every

and days of crippling anxiety,” said Clark.
The bill also creates more job and transportation
opportunities for people with developmental disabilities.
