1915(i) Waiver Services

The 1915(i) Medicaid Waiver is similar to the Innovations Waiver and provides support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), including those with speech delays or related diagnoses. Eligibility for 1915(i) services requires Medicaid enrollment.

To determine eligibility, a Tailored Plan Care Manager will conduct an assessment. To begin the process, contact Dreamweavers or Vaya Partners to be connected with a Care Manager. For additional information, visit Vaya Partners.

What Are 1915(i) Services?

1915(i) services are provided in the home and/or community and typically range from 15 to 28 hours per week, depending on the individual’s age and authorized service level. These services are designed to help individuals develop the skills needed for greater independence and success in daily life.

At Dreamweavers, we employ experienced and qualified Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) who work alongside individuals and families to achieve short-term goals identified in the Individual Service Plan (ISP) developed with the Care Manager.

Dreamweavers Offers the Following 1915(i) Services:

  • Community Living and Supports
  • Respite
  • Community Networking

Building Skills for a More Independent Future

Our team supports individuals in developing skills such as:

  • Communication and language development
  • Daily living and self-care skills
  • Cognitive functioning
  • Behavioral management and coping strategies
  • Social and relationship-building skills
  • Other personalized goals identified by the individual and family

For many families, 1915(i) services provide an excellent alternative to the Innovations Waiver, offering meaningful support while promoting growth, independence, and community participation.
