HCBS-I/DD Waiver Waiver Number: KS.0224.R06.00

~~“The State of Kansas currently operates an approved Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability (IDD) waiver that provides services to eligible children and adults.  The purpose of this waiver is to provide the opportunity for innovation in providing Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)to eligible participants who would otherwise require institutionalization in an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability (ICF-IID). Consistent with the Developmental Disabilities Reform Act of 1995 (DDRA), the goals and objectives of the waiver continue to center around providing participants, who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, access to services and supports which allow opportunities for choices that increase the participant's independence, productivity, integration, and inclusion in the community. Further, this range of supports and services will be appropriated to each participant and will be provided in a manner that affords the same dignity and respect to participants with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities that would be afforded to any person who does not have a disability.”
