Waiver Services Available Now for Eligible Children and Youth

Engrossed 2nd Substitute House Bill 1188 was passed in the 2023 Legislative Session, making it possible for eligible children and youth to access Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) Home and Community-Based Waivers when in a dependency, or a dependency proceeding.

If you are caring for a child or youth who is eligible for DDA services, or who you think might be eligible, and would like to learn more about accessing services, please reach out to your DCYF caseworker or the Mental Health/Developmental Disabilities Program Consultant in your area to learn more.
