The Waiting Room

Hello and welcome to The Waiting Room, a podcast that shines a light on the ever growing Medicaid waitlist and unmet needs of people with intellectual and/other developmental disabilities in North Carolina. Join us as we focus on this issue, educate, inform and build a community along the way. Hosted by Kenneth Kelty.

Storytelling is an important way to help others to understand what it is like to live with a developmental disability or help as a family member or caretaker. Our I/DD lived experience voices can drive a new narrative about meeting the service and support needs of those with I/DD and their families. Our voices are the ones that need to be heard – by friends, family, neighbors, teachers, employers, media reporters, policymakers and so many others as we strive to live inclusively in communities around North Carolina. One of the ways we tell stories is through The Waiting Room podcast.
