Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a range of services including Companion Services, Home and Community Services, Home and Chore Services, and other supports designed to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities live independently and fully participate in their communities. 

As an SCO , our primary role is to help individuals with autism access the services and support they need. This includes developing individualized service plans, connecting individuals with necessary resources, and providing ongoing advocacy to ensure that their needs are met. 

To find out if you or a loved one qualifies for services:

1. Contact Your County ID/A Office – Find your local office.

3. Provide Diagnosis Documentation – Proof of intellectual disability, autism, or developmental disability is required.
4. Apply for Waiver Services – Medicaid waivers cover many support programs.
