NC Program Finder

This tool is designed to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), autism, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other cognitive disabilities — along with their families and caregivers — identify potential services and supports they may be eligible for through CWS or other resources.

Based on the information you provide about age, location, disability-related needs, current funding or waiver status, and goals (such as employment, vocational training, community integration, or skill-building), the Program Finder will:

  • Suggest CWS programs and supports that may align with those needs
  • Point users toward other local or state resources when CWS services are not the best fit or are unavailable.
  • Offer general guidance on next steps for connecting with CWS staff or external providers.
  • Provide general information about resources, benefits, etc...

Important limitations

This tool is for guidance only. It does not:

  • Determine official eligibility for any program, waiver, or funding source.
  • Guarantee placement, funding approval, or availability of services.
  • Replace a formal intake, assessment, or person-centered planning process conducted by qualified staff or Medicaid/waiver authorities.
  • Provide legal, medical, or benefits advice.
  • Cover every possible service or provider in North Carolina.

Results depend on the accuracy and completeness of the information entered. Program availability, eligibility rules, and funding can change. Always confirm details directly with CWS staff, your local Managed Care Organization (MCO), Vocational Rehabilitation, or the appropriate state agency before making decisions.
