Agencies licensed to provide personal care attendant services may enroll as a provider of children's choice services with the exception of support coordination services and therapy services. Agencies that enroll to be a children's choice service provider shall provide family support services, and shall either provide or subcontract for center-based respite, environmental accessibility adaptations, family training, and specialized medical equipment and supplies. Families of participants shall choose one service provider agency from those available in their region that will provide all waiver services, except support coordination.
