ICAP Assessments
What is an ICAP Assessment?
The ICAP is an evaluation to help determine the services and supports needed by people who receive Comprehensive Waiver disability services through Wyoming Department of Health, Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Section.

The ICAP assesses the following:

Motor skills
-
Social and communication skills
-
Personal living skills
-
Community living skills
-
Managing emotions and behaviors
ICAP scores are used by the Wyoming Department of Health, Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Section as part of the basis for determining eligibility for funding within the developmental disabilities service system. HCBS contracts with WIND to conduct initial, emergency, and continuing eligibility ICAP interviews throughout the state. Hundreds of interviews are conducted each year.
