Hill Country MHDD Centers provide compassionate care and support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing services that offer hope, support, and recovery.

Our Service Coordinators are trained in person-centered thinking and person-centered plan facilitation, which means they have learned skills to support individuals to achieve their goals at home, school, work, and in the community.

The Service Coordination team assists with:

  • determining eligibility for services;
  • enrollment into programs;
  • coordinating and monitoring ongoing services;
  • placing individuals on the Home and Community-Based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living Interest lists;
  • helping students transition from school services to community-based services; and
  • aiding families in finding residential services for children and adults.

If you are interested in IDD Services, please call our IDD Centralized Intake Line at 830-387-5970.

Hill Country is a contracted provider of Home and Community-Based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living (TxHmL) Medicaid waiver programs; however, we also serve as the Local Intellectual and Developmental Authority (LIDDA), which means we cannot and do not endorse any particular provider. If you or someone you help support receives services through HCS or TxHmL, our Service Coordinators will present all available provider options, including Hill Country, to help you make an informed choice about the program that will best meet the needs and goals of the person served.

CIS collaborates with schools to connect students and families to tailored community resources, addressing health, behavioral, and family crises. Serving students facing challenges such as poverty, substance abuse, and poor mental health, CIS ensures safe and healthy environments both at school and at home.

Basic Needs: Students aren’t at their best if they are hungry, cold, tired, or don’t have the necessities, like clothing, school supplies or hygiene items. CIS Site Coordinators see to it that students can focus on learning and teachers can focus on teaching.

Academic Assistance: Sometimes students just need a little assistance to lift them to success. We connect students with the extra support they need to succeed.

Healthy Initiatives: Healthier children make better students. It’s hard to focus on math and reading if a student can’t see the blackboard, is suffering from mental health issues, a tooth ache, or absent because of untreated asthma. Addressing health and mental health needs with the help of our community partners keeps students in school, focused, and ready to learn.

Social Emotional Health: We want students to approach people and challenges in healthy ways. How do you learn to pay attention? Solve problems or conflicts with others? Be persistent in the face of frustration? Our students are learning these and other critical life skills thanks to relationships with CIS Site Coordinators.

College and Career Exploration: For students pursuing college, we help decipher the application process, explore scholarship opportunities, tour campuses and conduct mock interviews. For those planning to enter the work force, we help students discover enjoyable, sustainable career paths and connect them to internships, job shadowing opportunities and leadership training courses. For those undecided, our Project Success coordinators provide a safe sounding board to articulate goals and fears, and explore options.

Girls on the Run is our program for girls in 3rd-5th grade that encourages girls to recognize their individual strengths and celebrate connections with others. Each season, girls gain a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them, the value of teamwork and healthy relationships and how they can have a positive impact on the world. Girls also make a meaningful contribution to their community through a team-organized Community Impact Project. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation for fitness and healthy habits and teach life skills including treating others with care, practicing gratitude and managing emotions. Each season culminates with a Girls on the Run 5K event. This celebratory, non-competitive event provides girls with a sense of accomplishment and instills the value of goal setting at a young age.

Serving students facing challenges such as poverty, substance abuse, and poor mental health, CIS ensures safe and healthy environments both at school and at home.

Basic Needs: Students aren’t at their best if they are hungry, cold, tired, or don’t have the necessities, like clothing, school supplies or hygiene items. CIS Site Coordinators see to it that students can focus on learning and teachers can focus on teaching.

Academic Assistance: Sometimes students just need a little assistance to lift them to success. We connect students with the extra support they need to succeed.

Healthy Initiatives: Healthier children make better students. It’s hard to focus on math and reading if a student can’t see the blackboard, is suffering from mental health issues, a tooth ache, or absent because of untreated asthma. Addressing health and mental health needs with the help of our community partners keeps students in school, focused, and ready to learn.

Social Emotional Health: We want students to approach people and challenges in healthy ways. How do you learn to pay attention? Solve problems or conflicts with others? Be persistent in the face of frustration? Our students are learning these and other critical life skills thanks to relationships with CIS Site Coordinators.

College and Career Exploration: For students pursuing college, we help decipher the application process, explore scholarship opportunities, tour campuses and conduct mock interviews. For those planning to enter the work force, we help students discover enjoyable, sustainable career paths and connect them to internships, job shadowing opportunities and leadership training courses. For those undecided, our Project Success coordinators provide a safe sounding board to articulate goals and fears, and explore options.

Girls on the Run is our program for girls in 3rd-5th grade that encourages girls to recognize their individual strengths and celebrate connections with others. Each season, girls gain a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them, the value of teamwork and healthy relationships and how they can have a positive impact on the world. Girls also make a meaningful contribution to their community through a team-organized Community Impact Project. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation for fitness and healthy habits and teach life skills including treating others with care, practicing gratitude and managing emotions. Each season culminates with a Girls on the Run 5K event. This celebratory, non-competitive event provides girls with a sense of accomplishment and instills the value of goal setting at a young age.

Grades 3 - 5
