| Description |
This chapter combines the requirements for the Family and Individual Supports (previously Individual and Family Developmental Disabilities Support Waiver), Community Living (previously Intellectual Disability Waiver), and Building Independence Waiver (previously Day Support Waiver). The combination of these three waivers into one program is a collaborative effort between DMAS, DBHDS, and stakeholders. An expanded array of service options is intended to enable individuals with disabilities to successfully live in their communities.
