- Colorado Supported Living Services Waiver Guide
Major changes to the waiver including a new system for determining support levels and provider rates were made this year. With help from the CO Division of Developmental Disabilities, Chapters of The Arc in Colorado have produced this guide which will be published and sent later this year to all families and individuals enrolled in the SLS waiver. We are waiting for a review of the guide by the CO Department of Health Care Policy and Financing and will incorporate any changes that they suggest before it is published. The information in this guide is accurate as of October 24, 2009. If you have questions, please contact Louise Todd-Stoll (louise@arcjc.org 303-232-1338 x207), Jeanne Weis (jeanne@arcjc.org 303-232-1338 x204) or The Arc of CO at mrymer@thearcofco.org.
