00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.971
Question 41.

00:00:00.971 --> 00:00:04.053
Was the directory cognitively
accessible to people with

00:00:04.053 --> 00:00:06.751
brain injuries and available
in alternative formats?

00:00:06.751 --> 00:00:09.834
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.834 --> 00:00:10.219
finding.

00:00:10.219 --> 00:00:10.990
People served:

00:00:10.990 --> 00:00:13.302
Choice must be meaningful
and accessible;

00:00:13.302 --> 00:00:16.384
a hidden or unusable directory
may require regulatory

00:00:16.384 --> 00:00:17.540
and disability-access review.

00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:18.311
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.311 --> 00:00:21.008
Requests, complaints, and
public-record activity may be

00:00:21.008 --> 00:00:24.091
protected, but retaliation
and access each use different

00:00:24.091 --> 00:00:24.862
legal tests.

00:00:24.862 --> 00:00:25.633
ABI Resources:

00:00:25.633 --> 00:00:28.715
Directory inclusion may involve
program or contract rules,

00:00:28.715 --> 00:00:31.413
not an automatic constitutional
entitlement to business.

00:00:31.413 --> 00:00:33.339
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.339 --> 00:00:36.422
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:36.422 --> 00:00:37.193
a contract.

00:00:37.193 --> 00:00:39.890
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:42.973
Preserve directory versions, change
logs, eligibility rules, access

00:00:42.973 --> 00:00:45.670
tests, notices, and provider
lists actually shown.

00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:48.368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
