Navigating the world of Medicaid waivers in Pennsylvania can feel overwhelming—especially when "you don't know what you don’t know." So many individuals and families miss out on critical services simply because they aren't sure what to ask for or what’s possible.

Whether you're looking for day-to-day support, employment assistance, home modifications, or community integration, a waiver can be tailored to align directly with your or your loved one's vision for a fulfilling life.

In this interactive webinar, you’ll learn:

• What’s Available: An overview of PA ODP waiver options and the range of services they cover.

• How to Ask: How to identify your needs, advocate effectively, and ask for the right supports.

• Realizing Your Vision: How to leverage waiver funding to support independence, community living, and personal goals.
