Description

This poster reports findings from a document analysis of CMS 1915c Medicaid waiver documents for self-directed supports for children and adults diagnosed with IDD and Autism. The waiver documents demonstrate a greater acceptance of and adherence to the model of self-direction in state-level programs than observed in previous national studies. The documentary analysis was conducted as part of a larger State of the States research project
