Intake & Enrollment

In Colorado, Community Centered Boards (CCBs) are responsible for determining whether individuals meet the Colorado definition for developmental or intellectual disabilities. Each of the 20 CCBs in the state has a specific service area. Colorado Bluesky serves Pueblo county.

Please call our intake team at 719-542-0572 or email intake@coloradoblueskyenterprises.org

An Intake Case Manager will discuss the criteria for a developmental  disability and will provide you with a Request for Determination of  Developmental Disability application packet. The Intake Case Manager  will also discuss potential programs and supports.

Upon our receipt of the completed Request for Determination of Developmental Disability form, you will have 90 days to  submit all necessary documents to your assigned intake case manager.  These documents include signed cognitive/IQ testing (i.e. WISC-IV)  and/or adaptive behavior testing (i.e., Vineland), medically diagnosed  neurological conditions, and evidence of a disability before the age of  22. Please contact your Intake Case Manager for testing centers and  resources.

The Intake Case Manager will review the documents you submit and  complete an Intellectual & Developmental Disability determination.  If you are determined as a person with a developmental disability, you  will be notified and will receive additional information regarding the  programs that may best meet your needs. 

If you are determined to not have  a developmental disability, you will be notified of this decision,  given further recommendations or referrals and an explanation of your  right to appeal the determination.

It is important to note that in Colorado there may be waiting lists some services. Once a developmental delay or developmental disability is determined, Colorado Bluesky can place you on a waiting list for needed services. Please ask your Intake Case Manager for more information about the  services you are seeking and if there is a waiting list.

Colorado Bluesky will contact you for enrollment into services when funding  resources become available and when you have reached the top of the waiting list. Your intake case manager will help guide you through the  enrollment process.

The Children’s Extensive Support (HCBS-CES),  Children’s Habilitation Residential Program (HCBS-CHRP), and Supported  Living Services (HCBS-SLS) waivers do not currently have a waiting list.  Your ability to enroll in a program is based on financial, functional,  and disability eligibility. You will work with your Intake Case  Manager to begin the process if you meet the age and programmatic  criteria for these waivers.
