History
Prior to 2015, Targeted Service Coordinator (TSC), Griselda Camacho, felt that she was op- erating in a vacuum. She was one of two Spanish-speaking TSC’s serving families in south- western Idaho. She encountered Spanish-speaking families who had adults with disabilities and the families had misinformation or no information about the Medicaid services that their children could access.
Mission
Provide Hispanic parents a safe space to tell their stories and personal experiences, empower them and provide an education to have their children receive the services they were either neglected from having or unaware of its existence.
