DDRS Update-Opportunity for Feedback

The Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services recently announced pilot project opportunities to explore promising practices and service delivery approaches to enhance HCBS waiver services for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (https://www.in.gov/fssa/ddrs/files/HCBS-Innovation-Pilot-Projects-application-period-now-open.pdf).  These opportunities will further support and inform DDRS in waiver redesign efforts. 

DDRS has scheduled several upcoming online sessions for individuals and families to join to learn more about BDDS’ waiver redesign activities, what efforts have been made, and what ideas from the Initial Concept Paper (https://www.in.gov/fssa/ddrs/files/IndianaConceptPaper_FINAL.pdf) have been identified for upcoming changes over the course of the next two years.  These online meetings will also have time allotted for additional input from individuals and families for their ideas and thoughts about potential pilot projects that would help meet their needs.  In addition, DDRS staff will share highlights of what will be released this summer in The Path Forward – a summary document outlining priority areas for identified upcoming waiver changes.
