Developmental Disabilities Waiver
The Development Disabilities Waiver provides support to individuals with acquired brain injuries and developmental disabilities.
Developmental Disabilities Info
The Development Disabilities Waiver provides support to individuals with acquired brain injuries and developmental disabilities. Supports are provided in home and/or around the community to assist individuals to acquire, maintain, and improve upon independent living skills, community skills, and explore new interests and expand on current hobbies. Align Services currently only provides case management through the DD Waiver.
For more information and to apply for the waiver, visit the Wyoming Department of Health, Developmental Disabilities Division website.
How it Works: Case Managers
Case Managers assist individuals with the entire waiver process, beginning to end.
Waiver Application
Starting with the waiver application, once you have chosen your case manager, they will provide Targeted Case Management to help with Medicaid eligibility, psychological evaluations, and completing the ICAP (Inventory for Client and Agency Planning) – all items required to determine waiver eligibility.
Review Resources
Once on the waitlist, your case manager can assist in connecting you with local resources and social services to help fill gaps until waiver funding is available and a Plan of Care is developed.
Plan of Care
Once on the waiver, your case manager will monitor your Plan of Care by completing the required home visits and service observations, ensuring wants and needs are being met, monitoring overall health and wellness, and keeping communication transparent and frequent with providers, families, and others within an individual’s circle of support.
