It's here! Since early 2006, Imagine Enterprises has provided training about self-determination and the Texas Medicaid waivers to hundreds of people with disabilities and family members. Many of you we have met at sessions around the state are getting off the waiting list for waiver services—often after many years of waiting. This booklet was created in response to your requests made at every Boot Camp workshop—an easy reference guide that covers the major waivers in one place.

All of the information about the waivers comes from public information documents published on the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) website. We haven’t changed the information, but have attempted to format it to allow comparison between the major waivers. While we hope this is a useful resource, it is in no way intended to be the official or final word on Medicaid waiver eligibility or services. That authority rests solely with DADS. At this writing, the information related to the waiver services and service plan spending limits is current; but it is subject to change at any time. For the most up-to-date information for each waiver program, contact the appropriate DADS office. (See the back page for Information Resources.)
