Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of spending a few days in New Hampshire. The Granite State, though small, packs a powerful punch when it comes to its influence on modern presidential elections, as its first-in-the-nation primaries make it a popular spot for candidates to take to the stump.

Living Innovations’ Rhode Island State Director Joanne Malise provides some historical perspective on how funding for services was determined in the past, versus what is being done now

Funding for Rhode Islanders with developmental disabilities works against the individualized care that is at the core of the state’s vision for social services.

Joanne Malise, MSW, LCSW has over thirty years of experience with the Rhode Island developmental disabilities systems. She leads a dynamic team of professionals committed to providing the guidance and support needed to help people to live safely in the community, and experience lives filled with friends, family, personal growth and opportunities. She is a strong advocate for personalized supports and community inclusion

Andrew Taranko has been with Living Innovations since 2006. After graduating from Bentley College with a degree in Business Management, Andrew has spent the past 20 years working in Southern Maine in education, mental health, and developmental services. Andrew studied health policy and management as a graduate student in the Muskie School of Public Service at the University of Southern Maine.
