DDA Video Series Explains Waiver Services

The Washington State Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) has created a series of short videos to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), family members, and professionals better understand Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers and the supports available through Washington’s waiver system.

In addition to the overview video, the playlist features brief videos on many waiver-funded services, including Assistive Technology, Community Engagement, Community Inclusion, Environmental Adaptations, Equine Therapy, Life Skills, Music Therapy, Peer Mentoring, Person-Centered Plan Facilitation, Remote Support, Respite Care, Specialized Equipment and Supplies, Staff and Family Consultation, Supported Employment, Supported Parenting, Therapeutic Adaptations, Transportation, and Wellness Education.

These short, easy-to-understand videos provide snapshots of services available through DDA’s HCBS waiver programs and can be a helpful resource for individuals with disabilities, family members, trainees, and service providers.
