The Idaho Community Integration Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating state-certified agencies delivering community integration services to individuals with disabilities or other barriers to social participation in Idaho. This manual aligns with the Idaho Administrative Code (IDAPA 16.03.10), Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver requirements, and federal regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Olmstead Decision. It ensures compliance with state and federal standards for promoting inclusion, independence, and meaningful participation in community life.
The manual is designed to guide agencies in providing services that support individuals in accessing community resources, developing social skills, and achieving personal goals related to integration and independence. It establishes policies for service delivery, agency certification, staff qualifications, participant rights, and quality assurance.
