The Broker Queen didn't just help us with paperwork — she helped us understand what self-direction actually meant for our son. For the first time, we felt like we were in control.
I was so confused about OPWDD before I found The Broker Queen. Now I manage my own budget, hire my own staff, and live the life I want. She made that possible.
The educational resources alone are worth it. We finally understood what we were entitled to and how to advocate for our daughter. Truly life-changing support.
