Division of Developmental Disabilities

The Division of Developmental Disabilities provides service coordination and support services to individuals with developmental disabilities such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, head injuries, autism, epilepsy, and certain learning disabilities in order to allow these individuals to live as independently as possible and stay connected with their communities. The division provides these services through contracts with public and private agencies as well as with state-operated facilities. Through this provider network, the division provides residential services for individuals who need a support structure ranging from complex medical and behavior settings to independent living. The division also provides support services for individuals who live independently or with family and other services that provide training, address behavior issues, and provide therapies.
