Family Forum
Why Are We Here Tonight?
• To provide families and individuals with
information from OPWDD about the rapid
changes that are occurring with services for
people with Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities
• To hear from you! We would like to hear
what you would like for services in the
future
How Did We Get Here?
• Late 1990s NYS began to “Medicaid” services
• The HCBS Waiver includes Residential,
Prevoc, Day Hab, Supported Employment,
Transportation and some other services
• Very predictable forms of service
• This led to a period of growth with new homes
and expanded day services
Why The Change?

Why The Change?
• New Governor Andrew Cuomo inherits a
massive deficit
• Our agency gets cut $800,000 while the
state closes its deficit
What Is Managed Care?
• NYS has submitted an application to
CMS for a 1915 b. c. waiver and that is
Managed Care
• Under managed care, the state gets out
of dealing with hundreds of providers
and shifts that to a Managed Care
Organization or as they call it a DISCO

1. More person-centered services
