How are day programs in AR getting away with using waiver funding if they are not integrating them into the community. All some do is keep them in the building doing occasional art activities

Individuals with profound autism need higher supervision in day programs to benefit from them. If not, they are left sitting, stimming, wanting to leave. Yet, day programs can say we only have 1:10 cuz that’s all that’s required and they cannot afford more staff. So, what can we do about this. Can waiver pay for a personal care attendant on the waiver to attend a day program with the individual so they can actually participate? I’m looking for answers from you because I’ve already tried many other avenues.
