HCBS I/DD Unbundling Day Services Webinar
Please join us November 8, 2024 from 1 - 2:30 PM

In compliance with federal requirements, KDADS is working to separate (unbundle) the current  HCBS Intellectual/Developmental Disability (I/DD) Day Habilitation Service into several separate services. Our intent is to ensure that all existing services provided will continue to be available, as well as new options to help people with I/DD achieve competitive employment and receive services in settings that fully comply with the HCBS Settings Final Rule.

In this webinar we will share the review the proposed service definitions and hear your input on the definitions.

Proposed services include:
• Retirement and Seniors Day Habilitation Services
• Community Based Day Habilitation Service
• Prevocational Services
• Life Skills Services
• Career Exploration and Planning
• Individualized Employment Services
• Benefit Planning Service
