Leading Indiana Disability Organizations Announce Formation of
Indiana Disability Alliance
Indiana’s leading organizations advocating for and representing people with disabilities and their families across the state have joined together to form the Indiana Disability Alliance, a new statewide coalition focused on advancing policies that support independence, inclusion, and opportunity.

The Alliance brings together a diverse group of respected organizations:

Autism Society of Indiana — Courtney Wolley, Executive Director
Down Syndrome Indiana — Macy Pohl, Executive Director
FUSE — Sara Cummins, Executive Director
Independence Indiana, an association of Indiana Centers
for Independent Living — John Guingrich, Chairperson
Indiana Family to Family (INF2F) — Holly Wheeler, Executive Director
Indiana Statewide Independent Living Council (INSILC) —
Mike Foddrill, Executive Director
Self-Advocates of Indiana (SAI) – Erin McGuire, SAI President
The Arc of Indiana — Kim Dodson, CEO

Mission: The Indiana Disability Alliance is a statewide coalition representing people with all disabilities, bringing together organizations to advance public policies that promote independence, community integration, and meaningful opportunity across Indiana. Through coordinated advocacy, the Alliance works to strengthen home and community-based services and other systems that support individuals in living, learning, working, and participating fully in community life, while preventing unnecessary institutionalization and supporting sustained community living.

The formation of the Alliance comes at a critical time, as disability advocates nationwide are closely monitoring ongoing discussions around Medicaid funding and policy changes that could impact access to Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). Any reductions or barriers to these supports will have serious consequences, potentially forcing individuals into more restrictive and costly institutional settings.

Indiana’s advocacy organizations have joined together to represent a unified message around the importance of HCBS for people with disabilities of all ages in our state. The Alliance is committed to ensuring that policymakers understand the importance of protecting and strengthening these vital services. Together, the Alliance will amplify a unified voice, empowering individuals with disabilities and their families to advocate alongside member organizations for policies that support independence, inclusion, and opportunity in communities across the state.
