Juan M. / Austin, Texas
Juan was born with cerebral palsy, a disorder that affects his ability to move and maintain posture. This hinders his capacity to do necessary tasks such as cooking and laundry, requiring assistance in his home almost every day.
Medicaid provides him the opportunity to do what he loves—driving. He currently works part-time as a personal driver, which he has been doing for many years.
Juan served as the vice president of Art Spark Texas, a local arts organization for children and adults with disabilities. He is also a certified teacher of Alito Alessi’s method of mixed-ability dance called Danceability.
“When you have a disability, Medicaid really does help a lot,” Juan says.
