Collaborative Work Group on Adult Developmental Disability Services
The Collaborative Work Group (CWG) on Adult DD Services is a group of individuals representing a range of service providers, advocates, agencies and policymakers that have come together to discuss and advise the State of Idaho regarding the service system for adults with developmental disabilities in Idaho and any changes that may be made to the system. The core of this service system is the services paid through Medicaid, but there is recognition that there are other services and supports, paid and unpaid, that comprise the “system”. It is important that any changes to Medicaid-reimbursed services recognize the impact that those changes will have on other services, supports, systems and lives.
