The Children's Home and Community-Based Waiver is a Department of Health program that permits the provision of services that the regular state medicaid plan will not cover for eligible developmentally disabled children in Wyoming. The Children's Waiver, began in July, 1992, is administered by the Developmental Disabilities Division.Children eligible for the Waiver are ages birth through 20 years who are mentally retarded or persons with a related condition who require active treatment at the level of care of an Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR).The goal of the waiver is to provide home and community based services that enable the child to stay in the local community rather than being institutionalized.The intent of the Waiver is to relieve pressures on families by assisting them in meeting the needs of their developmentally disabled child.
