For families, guardians and case managers.

Free, no-pressure conversation. We reply within one business day.

Who it's for

Adults 18 and older with an intellectual or developmental disability who are on Colorado's DD Waiver. We keep the group small so everyone gets real one-to-one and small-group attention. That matters a lot for adults with autism, complex communication or higher support needs. ElizaBeth has years of experience with people who use few or no words.

How it's paid for

The program is funded through the Medicaid DD Waiver as Supported Community Connections (SCC). It is not private pay. RMHS families can request extra Mill Levy SCC hours on top of their waiver hours. We'll also show you how much the state pays and how much we keep, so you know your loved one's funding goes to their care.
