Summary:

The Colorado Dept. of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) developed a program that enables people with disabilities to manage their own attendant services. In the CDAS, people hire, train, supervise and fire their own attendants. They set their own attendant schedules and to a degree they determine what services the attendants provide. HCPF is not accepting applications for the CDAS at this time however, the forms provide an overview of the program and serve as templates for similar programs.
