Medicaid funds nearly all supports and services for children and adults with I/DD, including employment services, personal care in the home, respite, support and supervision through supported living, environmental modifications, therapies, assistive technology. These services allow people to exercise their choice, remain healthy, and live live meaningful and productive lives at home and in the community.
