Developmental Disabilities Services

Developmental Disabilities provides support and training to individuals and families in order to maximize community and family inclusion, independence, and self-sufficiency; to prevent institutionalization; and to enable institutionalized individuals to return to the community. To achieve this goal, Developmental Disabilities contracts with private, nonprofit and for-profit organizations to provide an array of residential services, day services, and family support services.

Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Changes

• The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued regulations that define the settings in which it is permissible for states to pay for Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS).
• The purpose of these regulations is to ensure that individuals receiving long-term services and supports through the HCBS programs under the 1915(i), 1915(c), and 1915(k) Medicaid authorities have:
  • full access to the benefits of community living, and
  • the opportunity to receive services in the most integrated and appropriate settings.
