“Everyday of your life is a another lesson. If you learn the lesson well and apply it; whether positive or negative, you determine what happens in your tomorrow.” ― David Kofi Awusi
Living Options: Choosing where to live or a residential option is a tough choice for families to make. Will your child live at home or will you look at an apartment, residence home, or intermediate care facility for your young adult? Maybe your son/daughter dreams of owning a home. This section will point you to information resources.
Affordable housing is an issue for many families with or without disabilities. This section gives resources for affordable housing, including home-buying options for low-income families. See the Home of Your Own Guide (a pdf file link below) that can be downloaded. Most of the information is correct; however, the Fannie Mae Home Path mortgages have increased their down payment requirement to 5% (up from 3%).
Life Skills: Students learn to do math, read, and write while they’re in high school, but some of the life skills that all students also need are: taking care of health needs; being able to handle emergencies; technology skills; financial management skills; communication skills; time management; and how to take care of laundry, cleaning, and other housekeeping tasks. If your son/daughter needs additional instruction in life skills after graduation, this section has resources for you.
Parents and teens should talk about what skills need to be learned before the teen leaves home. If the teen plans to live at home he/she still needs to learn to do things things such as laundry, cleaning, or finances independently. For students with developmental disabilities, it is even more important to learn life skills and evaluate independent living options. This section has a list of agencies that can help support the young adult with independent living, employment, or life skills.

Developmental Disabilities Housing and Living Supports:
A variety of housing and living supports are available for people with developmental disabilities, depending on their personal interests and needs. In addition to options below, there are many community housing and supports programs available to the general public that can be used for people with specialized support needs:

Adults who meet the criteria for Developmental Disabilities (DD) Waiver Services are eligible for additional supports, like supported living, chore services, environmental modifications, and home delivered meals.
• Certified Family Homes are available to adults with developmental disabilities and are generally limited to two or three non-family members in each home.
• Licensed Residential and Assisted Living Facilities are group living arrangements for adults who have varying needs for support.
• Intermediate Care Facilities for people who have developmental disabilities are group living arrangements for adults or children with developmental disabilities and intense needs to support. Children and adults must meet an institutional level of care in order to live in these facilities.
For more information about housing and living supports for people with developmental disabilities, contact the regional Developmental Disabilities Program
http://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/Medical/DevelopmentalDisabilities/tabid/120/default.aspx
Apply for Adult Developmental Disability Services
Step 1: Apply for Developmental Disability services through your Regional Medicaid Services Unit. Your application, and any information documenting your eligibility, will be sent to the Idaho Center for Disabilities Evaluation.
Step 2: Your application will be reviewed by an Independent Assessment Provider (IAP).
Step 3: The IAP will contact you, your guardian, or other representative and schedule an appointment or an interview.
Step 4: Go to the interview. Make sure you bring your guardian, a friend, or another person that knows you very well to the appointment.
Step 5: The IAP will complete an assessment that includes:
• An interview with you and any other person who can help provide information.
• An interview with a person who knows you very well and can answer the questions on the Scales of Independent Behavior–Revised assessment tool.
• Signatures on Release of Information documents in order to gather more information about your disability.
• A Medical Care Evaluation Form that must be completed by your primary physician (you might need to schedule a visit with your physician to get a physical examination so the form can be completed).
• A needs inventory that will help Medicaid calculate your annual budget for adult DD services.
Step 6: After the appointment, the IAP will determine if you’re eligible for DD services and send a notice to let you know.
Step 7: If you’re eligible for DD services, the notice will include the amount of your annual budget. If you’re not eligible, you can request an appeal by returning the denial notice to Administrative Procedures.
Step 8: If you’re a Medicaid participant and are eligible for DD services, the IAP will ask you to choose whether you would like to self-direct your services or pursue traditional services. If you select to get traditional services, the IAP will give you a list of agencies that can supply a plan developer. You will be asked to fill out the Plan Developer Choice Form.
Step 9: You and your plan developer will organize your person-centered planning team. You can also choose to contact a Person-Centered Planning Specialist to help you with person-centered planning.
Step 10: You and your team will evaluate your needs and goals and develop an Individual Supports and Services Plan for you.
What is the My Voice My Choice Self-Directed Services Option?
My Voice My Choice is the name of Idaho's self-directed option for Medicaid services. Anyone who can get Developmental Disability (DD) Waiver services can choose to self-direct their services. The My Voice, My Choice option was designed to follow main ideas of self-determination. This option gives you more choice and control over the Medicaid funds used to buy your services and supports. You choose the services and supports that fit your needs. You decide when and where you get services and supports. You hire the people you want to help you. You keep track of your Medicaid budget account.
How Does Self-Direction Work? If you are eligible for Medicaid waiver services and choose to self-direct your services, you get an Individual Budget that you are able to use to buy the services, supports and goods you need for one full year. Your budget amount is decided by an assessment that you do with the Independent Assessment Provider (IAP).
Your Support and Spending Plan will be sent to the Regional Medicaid Services office for approval. Your individual budget amount and approval of your plan goes to the Fiscal Management Services provider. Fiscal Management Services keep track of all the money and will pay for your services and supports with money from your budget account.
A Community Support Worker is a person that you hire to help you.
A community support worker can be someone who works for a service agency or someone who does not work for a service agency.
How Do I know if self-direction is right for me?
My Choice, My Voice may be right for you if:
• You are eligible for the Developmental Disabilities Waiver
• You want to have more choices and flexibility in your services and supports
• You want more control over how you spend your Medicaid budget account
• You want to hire and manage your own workers and hire people you know
• You understand and are willing to accept the extra risks, responsibilities, and duties
The questions below may help you decide if self-direction is right for you:
• Am I living the life I want?
• Am I happy with the services and supports I have right now?
• What would I change about them?
• Do I want to be more independent?
• Do I want to be more involved in my community?
• Do I want to make my own decisions about: where I live, who I live with, who helps me?
• Am I willing to take on added risks, responsibilities and duties?
• Do I want to learn how to hire and supervise my workers?
• Do I have people who can help me make plans and choices and keep track of my Medicaid budget account?
My Voice, My Choice isn’t about doing it all yourself. You can ask family and friends to help you self direct. You will also hire a Support Broker to help you write your plan and help you with other duties you decide you need help with.
Your DUTIES when you self direct your services and supports are:
• Tell others about your needs and wants, set your goals, and make decisions during your person centered planning process.
• Complete the required paperwork, including a support and spending plan and employment agreements.
• Be a boss – find and hire people to work for you, train your workers, and schedule when you want the work done. You also negotiate, make sure they are doing the work you hired them to do and doing the work the way you want it done, sign your workers’ time sheets, and have back-up plans for emergencies.
• Buy all supports, services, and goods such as supplies and equipment on your plan through employment and vendor agreements.
• Make good choices about how you spend you Medicaid budget account and keep track of your budget account so you don’t over-spend.
• Follow all state and federal labor laws.
• Follow the rules for self direction found at “Consumer-Directed Services.”
My Choice My Voice may not work for everyone. If you choose self-direction and it doesn’t work for you, you can use other waiver services. Your health and safety is an important part of My Choice My Voice. You, your family and friends, your support broker and the Department of Health and Welfare will work together to assure that your health and safety needs are met.
Learn what you need to know before you decide My Choice My Voice is right for you. Call your Regional Medicaid Services office for a schedule of informational meetings.
