00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,971
Question 41.

2
00:00:00,971 --> 00:00:04,053
Was the directory cognitively
accessible to people with

3
00:00:04,053 --> 00:00:06,751
brain injuries and available
in alternative formats?

4
00:00:06,751 --> 00:00:09,834
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:09,834 --> 00:00:10,219
finding.

6
00:00:10,219 --> 00:00:10,990
People served:

7
00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:13,302
Choice must be meaningful
and accessible;

8
00:00:13,302 --> 00:00:16,384
a hidden or unusable directory
may require regulatory

9
00:00:16,384 --> 00:00:17,540
and disability-access review.

10
00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:18,311
David Medeiros:

11
00:00:18,311 --> 00:00:21,008
Requests, complaints, and
public-record activity may be

12
00:00:21,008 --> 00:00:24,091
protected, but retaliation
and access each use different

13
00:00:24,091 --> 00:00:24,862
legal tests.

14
00:00:24,862 --> 00:00:25,633
ABI Resources:

15
00:00:25,633 --> 00:00:28,715
Directory inclusion may involve
program or contract rules,

16
00:00:28,715 --> 00:00:31,413
not an automatic constitutional
entitlement to business.

17
00:00:31,413 --> 00:00:33,339
Constitutional claims
need state action;

18
00:00:33,339 --> 00:00:36,422
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

19
00:00:36,422 --> 00:00:37,193
a contract.

20
00:00:37,193 --> 00:00:39,890
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

21
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:42,973
Preserve directory versions, change
logs, eligibility rules, access

22
00:00:42,973 --> 00:00:45,670
tests, notices, and provider
lists actually shown.

23
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:48,368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
