The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has updated the Adult Autism Waiver (AAW) Provider Information Table to reflect changes implemented as part of the AAW renewal effective July 1, 2026. Key changes include:

 

  • Separating the Life Sharing service from the Residential Habilitation–Community Home service and creating a separate section for the Life Sharing service in the Provider Information Table;
  • Adding clarifying language to the Specialized Skill Development service;
  • Replacing the $10,000 lifetime funding limit on Assistive Technology devices with a $3,000 annual limit; and
  • Including a new Appendix E on Teleservice Requirements for AAW services available via Teleservices.

 

Please review ODPANN 26-073 for more details. Questions should be addressed to your appropriate Bureau of Supports for Autism and Special Populations (BSASP) Regional Office.
