We provide advocacy services to help individuals with IDD and their families access eligibility information, applications and community services and supports.
How to access Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) through the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Waiver in Kansas.
Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) encompasses several waivers funded by KanCare (the Kansas Medicaid program) that were created to provide services to individuals with disabilities in their home community instead of an institution, such as a nursing home, hospital, or intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID.) Services are designed to provide individuals with the least restrictive environment and to promote independence, inclusive, integration and productivity. Additional information about Kansas HCBS waivers and eligibility requirements can be found at KDADS HCBS IDD Programs.
