Traditional, Private Provider Agencies

Traditional, provider based services are offered to people on the Home and Community Based and Acquired Brain Injury waivers. The Division has contracts with hundreds of private, provider agencies across the state to provide specialized services. If the person with a disability or their parent/guardian chooses this model, then your Support Coordinator will help you choose which provider you wish to work with. The Support Coordinator will arrange for funds from the individual's budget to be allocated to the chosen provider agency.

• DSPD contracts with a large number of privately owned provider companies who provide a large variety of services across the state.

• Many provider companies specialize in delivering a particular type of service or meeting the needs for a particular type of disability. It is important to know that you have a choice in selecting a provider and are free to determine what services will provide you or your loved one with the best care for your situation.

• The state certifies and/or licenses these providers, and DSPD works closely with them to monitor the quality of the services they provide.
