Waiver programs

HCBS-DD, HCBS-SLS and HCBS-CES.

We provide behavioral supports through Colorado's Home and Community Based Services waivers.

  • HCBS-DD

    Persons with Developmental Disabilities

    Behavioral supports for adults receiving comprehensive services through the DD waiver.

  • HCBS-SLS

    Supported Living Services

    Supports that help adults live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities.

  • HCBS-CES

    Children's Extensive Support

    Supports for children and youth with significant needs, so families can care for them at home.

How we work

Positive and person-centered.

Grounded in behavior analysis, built around each person's own goals.

  1. Behavior analysis and assessment

    We start with the person: strengths, needs and the reasons behind a behavior.

  2. Goal selection

    With the individual, family and team, we choose goals that matter and can be reached.

  3. Skill instruction

    Communication, daily living, social and coping skills, taught with structured, positive methods.

  4. Family training

    Caregivers learn the same strategies, so progress holds at home and in the community.

What supports can include

Progress at home and out in the world.

If you or someone you love receives, or is applying for, waiver services, ask your case manager about us, or contact our coordinator.
