About this listen

What happens when critical disability services are underfunded—or disappear entirely?

In this powerful episode, co-hosts Adam Stultz and Dr. Matthew J. Ramsey, CEO of Target Community & Educational Services, pull back the curtain on the real, human consequences of cutting essential supports. This isn’t about budgets. It’s about dignity, independence, and the future we choose to build.

Through firsthand stories and frontline experience, Adam and Matt explore the ripple effects of service cuts on individuals, families, and entire communities. They confront the myth that slashing services saves money—and reveal the hidden costs we all pay when society stops investing in people.

If you believe everyone deserves a chance to live a full, meaningful life, this conversation is for you. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s a call to action we can't afford to ignore.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How service cuts devastate lives—and why the impact reaches beyond individuals

  • The true economic and moral cost of neglecting people with disabilities

  • What’s happening right now in Maryland and beyond

  • Why investing in services is one of the smartest, most compassionate choices a community can make
