What does a developmental disability support provider do?

A developmental disability support provider helps individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities live more independently and participate in their communities. They offer services like personal care, skill-building, and social support tailored to each person’s needs. These providers create safe, supportive environments that promote confidence, independence, and quality of life.

Who can benefit from developmental disability support services?

Anyone with an intellectual or developmental disability can benefit, including those who need help with daily living skills, social interaction, or employment. Support services are personalized to meet individual needs, abilities, and goals. These programs help individuals gain independence, develop skills, and connect with their community.

When should someone consider using a support provider?

A support provider is helpful whenever an individual needs assistance to live independently, build skills, or participate fully in the community. Families or caregivers often seek services when additional guidance, structure, or professional support is needed. Early engagement can help individuals achieve their goals faster and with more confidence.

Who delivers the services from a developmental disability support provider?

Trained professionals, such as caregivers, job coaches, and social workers, deliver these services. They are experienced in working with individuals with varying abilities and provide compassionate, personalized guidance. Providers work closely with families, caregivers, and the community to ensure the best outcomes.

How much does it cost?

C&C Consulting Services is funded through the Georgia Medicaid NOW/COMP Waiver Program.

Individuals must have a NOW or COMP Waiver to receive services without out-of-pocket costs.

What is the NOW/COMP Medicaid Waiver?

The NOW (New Options Waiver) and COMP (Comprehensive Supports Waiver) programs are Georgia Medicaid waivers that provide funding for services for individuals with developmental disabilities.

These waivers help cover services such as:

  • Day programs
  • Community access
  • Supported employment
  • Residential services
  • And other support services

How do I apply for the NOW/COMP Medicaid Waiver?

If you do not currently have a waiver, follow these steps:

  1. Contact Your Local Regional Office

    In Georgia, waiver services are managed through the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD). You must contact your local regional office to request an intake assessment.

  2. Complete an Intake Assessment

    An assessment will determine eligibility for developmental disability services and waiver placement. This process can take several months.

  3. Get Placed on the Waiver Waiting List

    If eligible, you will be placed on the waiver waiting list until funding becomes available.

  4. Work with a Service Coordinator

    Once approved for the waiver, a Service Coordinator will help you choose providers, including C&C Consulting Services.

How do I enroll in C&C Consulting Services?

If you already have a NOW/COMP Waiver:

  • Contact your Service Coordinator and request that a referral package be sent to C&C.
  • Once we receive the referral, we will contact you to schedule an intake meeting.
  • During the meeting, we will review your goals and determine if our program is a good fit.

If you do NOT currently have a waiver:

  • Contact your local regional office to begin the intake and eligibility process.
  • After approval and assignment of a Service Coordinator, a referral can be sent to C&C.
