This is a waiver for children who qualify for services through the developmental disabilities system who also have significant functioning and/or behavioral differences. These children require nearly 24-hour supervision.  Even at night, a parent or caregiver must attend to them in either a behavioral intervention or a health or safety intervention at least every three hours.

To be eligible for the CES Waiver the child’s family income does not have to be above the SSI Income Eligibility level.  A child may already have Medicaid and still be eligible for this waiver.  In addition to services covered by Medicaid the child can get things like special training, equipment, home modifications, non-medical care while parents are not available, special formulas or other things that Medicaid does not cover.  The family will also get a case manager to assist them to identify and obtain needed services/supports.

To see if your child might qualify for this waiver contact your local Community Centered Board (CCB). Family Voices can also help walk you through the steps of accessing the CES waiver. Call 1-800-881-8272.
