Description:
The Developmental Disabilities Division, which is part of the Hawaii State Department of Health, serves people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) to realize their possibilities NOW! People with disabilities have a right to live and participate fully in the community throughout their lives, just like everyone. Support to families is an important part of the work we do. Most of the services we provide are through a Medicaid 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). The purpose of the Medicaid I/DD Waiver is to support participants to live in their homes and communities through services that promote each person's self-determination, health, community integration, and safety.
