  • What happens if I die or can no longer take care of him/her?

  • Is he/she ‘disabled enough’ to qualify for benefits, or will our high income make us ineligible?

You can NO LONGER AFFORD to put off getting or using a Colorado Medicaid waiver!

I’m worried about my child’s future. What’s the best way to help?

Use our program to apply for a waiver so you can access a potential lifetime of benefits that will help your child with the after-school transition to adulthood, employment or independent living. You’ll also gain a safety net if something happens to you!

I don’t think we qualify due to our high income.

This is why you need a waiver. They enable disabled people to qualify for Medicaid benefits by ‘waiving’ the parental household income restrictions. Only the disabled person’s income is considered. Regardless of your income, your child may be eligible!

I’m worried about finances. Must we support our child forever?

Caring for a disabled child often forces parents to sacrifice their work, which tightens budgets and hinders retirement savings. A waiver provides annual funding for support services that can free up your finances and help you rebuild financial stability!

I was told our child isn’t 'disabled' enough.

Colorado’s waivers cover a wide variety of mental and physical disabilities. You need to explore the application process, because you may discover that your child DOES qualify for a specific waiver, and the benefits are too great to miss any longer!

Why does a disabled person need a waiver?

Because you may receive up to $100K or more each year in the value of provider services you use, as well as extra income caregivers can earn. Plus, you get medical insurance with no out-of-pocket costs. These benefits can be yours every year for the life of your disabled child!

I tried to get a waiver. It was SO frustrating. Is it worth trying again?

YES! Our program empowers you with the right knowledge and skills so you can SUCCEED this time. Knowing the roadmap makes all the difference, so even if you’ve tried before, the thousands of dollars in annual benefits make it ABSOLUTELY worth trying again!

What Parents Say

“Roadmap for the Waiver Journey is ESSENTIAL if you want the most advantageous situation for your disabled loved one.”

Mom Now Gets Paid for Caregiving

Norma got her daughter Alexa, who has Down Syndrome, on a CES waiver. Norma now earns income as Alexa’s caregiver, improving their family’s finances. The waiver also provides funding that pays for services such as service dog training, swim lessons, massage therapy and more!

If you Have a Disabled Child, JUST DO THIS PROGRAM!

For Sunitha, who has a disabled daughter, the waiver application process would’ve been too difficult to complete on her own. Now, her daughter will get the services she needs as a child, and also far into the future as she transitions to an adult.

  • Without NDC's course, we’d still be floundering and trying to figure out how to use our son's services. The course enabled us to fully understand the very confusing way that services are procured, tracked and delivered. I’m honestly not sure how people navigate the system without a class like this!

    SB, Lakewood, CO

  • Navigating Disability Colorado helped me to understand how to access my son’s CES waiver benefits more efficiently. I now know the budget down to the penny and how to best access the resources available to him. I also understand how to navigate the appeals process. Disabled people deserve a good quality of life and Maureen has deep knowledge on how to make that happen.

    Colorado Parent

  • The Maximizing Your Existing Waiver course empowered me with an in-depth understanding of the CES waiver and the Medicaid system. I learned things essential to helping my child, like understanding what services are available, and how to find quality respite service providers. I learned how to communicate effectively with my case manager to get my needs met and handle any grievances. It’s unlikely I could have acquired such ‘insider’ knowledge on my own. Maureen is such a patient, knowledgeable and generous instructor! This course has been invaluable in supporting me to advocate successfully for my child's needs!

    TG, Colorado Springs, CO

  • NDC is a wealth of information. Having a child with IDD is overwhelming, and understanding the systems to support him are confusing at best. Knowing that I have Maureen, the content and course to keep me updated on the latest and greatest information is an insurance policy that I'm doing the best I can for my child.

    BM, Littleton, CO

  • Raising a special needs child as a single parent is an unimaginably difficult journey. We were fortunate enough to meet Maureen during an extremely trying period of this journey. She was actively involved and provided guidance through the entire process of applying for my son’s CHRP waiver. Maureen is not only extremely knowledgeable, she makes herself available, genuinely cares and advocates for us with unwavering support throughout the entire process. I still reach out to her for guidance and will continue to do so. Her advocacy for the special needs community is priceless.

    LK, Centennial, CO

  • Thank you for the information! I feel like a baby whose eyes are suddenly opening to a much greater world. You are a great teacher. I really appreciate all the little things you do!

    TG, Jefferson County, CO

  • I have a 12-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome. If it were not for NDC, my daughter would not have access to half of the resources that help her be a successful member of our community. Maureen not only knows about resources available for the intellectual disability community, but she also understands how they work, how they are funded and what is needed to apply. All of this can be overwhelming or even impossible without Maureen's amazing guidance. I am thankful for Maureen’s knowledge and willingness to share. I would recommend her services any day.

    OF, Arapahoe County CO

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! This is going to be so great. I can already see how beneficial the course Apply for a Medicaid Waiver will be. I have now forgiven myself for not getting a CES waiver before now.

    Colorado Parent

    GS, Colorado

  • NDC is an essential resource in our community. Maureen's knowledge, personal experience and tenacity are crucial to families trying to get their disabled loved one set up for success. NDC is a must-have in your corner if you want the most advantageous situation for your disabled family member. She understands the time and work required for facilitating in-home support, completing the daunting applications, and navigating the community-centered boards and Medicaid with the state. At any point in the process, NDC is the wealth of information and support you are looking for. I cannot recommend NDC enough.

    YA, Colorado

  • I just watched the Navigating Disability CO webinar on building the respite bench. You are brilliant and the information was fantastic. Just wanted to let you know that! I look forward to learning more.

    JC Colorado Springs, CO

  • I found it really helpful that the Maximize Your Waiver course offers instruction both in how to better communicate with case managers, as well as in how the waiver and the system works. As a result, we've developed a better working relationship with our case manager and have been able to secure a couple service plan revisions. We are also now getting more services than we had been, after learning more about the waiver and what it has to offer.
