Bill > H197

This bill aims to support the transition to adult services for persons with disabilities. It amends the definition of "person with a disability" in Massachusetts law, expands the definition of "habilitative services" to include independent living skills, preparation for employment, and self-advocacy training. The bill also requires the Department of Developmental Services to develop a pilot program to provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities who are not eligible for other adult services. Additionally, the bill requires the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to report on the availability of habilitative services and propose federal Medicaid revenue strategies to address the adult service needs of transitioning students with disabilities.
