Informational Tour for the Proposed Lifespan Waiver
Please join the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) as we offer six (6) in-person presentations and discussions on the proposed Lifespan Waiver. These sessions are for youth and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities, autism, or other related conditions, as well as their families, interested service providers, and any other interested parties, to learn more about updates to the proposed waiver. There will be an opportunity to share comments and ask questions. We especially invite those with intellectual/developmental disabilities, autism, or other related conditions under 18 and/or on a waiting list and not yet receiving any waiver services. These groups will be among the first to access the Lifespan waiver. We also encourage providers who may not yet be providing waiver services to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, autism, or other related conditions to join us to learn more about the opportunity to become providers for the Lifespan Waiver. We will begin each session with a brief high-level review of the Lifespan Waiver design and updates based on feedback from the input received after the July 2023 Concept Paper was released for comment. Who should attend? OADS is offering an in-person events across the state with Providers, Waiver Members, their Family Members, and other interested parties such as:
