DDA Medicaid Waiver Program

The Developmental Disabilities Administration offers the  Community Pathways Waiver that is designed to help participants live more independently in their home and community. This waiver offers a wide variety of services to promote community living, such as Employment, Meaningful Day, Support Services, and Residential Services.  

All participants in DDA services have the right to select the service model that is best for them. Participants can select from two service models:

1. Self-Directed Service Model – Provides the individual with maximum choice and control over how their Medicaid approved waiver services are delivered, when, where, and the rate of payment. 
2. Provider-Managed Model – Provides the individual with access to support and care for Medicaid approved waiver services overseen by licensed or certified provider agencies. These agencies are licensed or certified by the DDA.
