The state’s developmental disabilities service system receives federal and state funding to provide for individuals who up to age five have developmental delays and after age five if they have IQ’s of 70 or less.  The funds are distributed to 20 Community Centered Boards (CCB) in various counties and regions of Colorado. CCB’s serve as the single entry point for many services that people with developmental disabilities (DD) are eligible for.  The CCBs administer two of the children’s Medicaid waivers and both DD adult waivers.  A program called Family Support provides small funding allowances to eligible families on a monthly basis.  Early Intervention Programs are also administered by most CCBs also.
