The diagnosis alone does not qualify the individual for services, they must meet the eligibility criteria for our adult and children's DD waivers.

Subject: DD Councils Any state recognizing FASD as a DD / eligible for long term support
Hello:
We are meeting with an FASD family grassroots group that wants our long term care system to recognize FASD as eligible for long term supports. Do any of your states include FASD in their state definition or recognize it as eligible for LTSS?
Thanks
