Current Narrative:
Alabama is exploring the use of the Medicaid Rehab Option and targeted case management for IPS to support extended services to youth in that program. We are also partnering with Alabama Department of Mental Health to explore various opportunities to use the waiver to support extended services for individuals seeking community based integrated employment. We are currently partnering with DMH, and will continue to do so, to support youth in Project SEARCH requiring extended services. Fund raising and private funding is also being utilized to support extended services to youth.
