About Our Medicaid Waiver Program

This program serves the organization’s most severely developmentally disabled adults. The Waiver Program is primarily non-vocational in nature and intended to be consumer driven. Program activities are designed to meet the individual needs of the consumers and include such activities as: independent living skills training, classes in basic meal preparation, community awareness/access, gardening, yoga, recreation and group/social activities. Waiver participants select their program provider and take an active role in determining the nature of their respective programs and goals. A relatively new component of the Waiver Program is the employment component that encourages vocational exploration, for which Ka Lima is at the forefront.
