These standards become effective April 1, 2007. However, standards which are directly tied to services listed in Individual Service Plans (ISP) will go into effect on the date of each individual’s annual ISP renewal, or the date upon which the ISP is revised to reflect inclusion of new services. Other standards refer to policies and procedures that were already in effect prior to distribution of these standards and therefore have been in effect for some time.
This final version of the DD Waiver Standards includes several revisions to the draft that has been posted on this website since fall 2006. For a summary of substantive changes, please click here.
