Children with developmental disabilities and their primary caregivers.
The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of, and develop an implementation plan for, using Medicaid funding to expand and improve existing respite care services for children with developmental disabilities.
The Oregon Department of Human Services, Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD), will conduct a feasibility study and develop an implementation plan for using Medicaid funds to provide respite care for children with developmental disabilities. The Department will examine current state respite care services and delivery systems to (1) obtain and evaluate data related to needs and capacity requirements, (2) research the risks and potential for service expansion and improvement through Medicaid State Plan or waiver services, and (3) develop a plan to implement recommendations obtained through grant activities.
