The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has announced to all stakeholders that the most recent version of the AAW Provider Information Table is now available. The announcement, ODPANN 26-073, has been reissued with a corrected link for the attachment: AAW Provider Information Table. Additionally, several links within the Provider Information Table were corrected, and Appendix B: AAW Travel Policy Related to Service Definitions was updated.

 

This communication obsoletes and replaces ODP Announcement 25-002, Adult Autism Waiver Provider Information Table.

 

Some changes reflected in the renewal of the AAW effective July 1, 2026, include:

  • Separating the Lifesharing service from the Residential Habilitation-Community Home service and creating a separate section for the Lifesharing 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.

 

Updated language and changes to services are highlighted in gray.

 

Questions about this communication should be addressed to the appropriate Bureau of Supports for Autism and Special Populations (BSASP) Regional Office.
