Approved!

Finally, after almost 4 years in the waiting list, the Family Supported Living waiver or "small medwaiver" was approved!
We chose a support coordinator immediately and hopefuly very soon we'll start receiving services through the waiver and Medicaid.
The Medwaiver is provided through the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) to elegible persons with developmental disabilities that live in their own home or family home. It provides home and community based supports like consumable medical supplies, home modificaions, in-home supports, personal emergenc response system and support coordination among others.
For us specifically, we will receive Speech and Occupational Therapies through Medicaid and Behavioral and In-home support through the waiver.
It looks like my schedule is going to be very busy once all the services are in place..... We are looking forward to it!!
