Eligibility for OPWDD and Home & Community-Based Waiver Services (HCBS) for Children with Disabilities

Do you wonder what services may be available for your child? This presentation, provided by Disability Rights New York, will provide practical information on eligibility for services through the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) including services funded through the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid waiver. Participants will get information on navigating this often-frustrating system and learn about specific requirements and strategies for applying to these programs. Options for challenging an OPWDD denial will also be covered.
