The Developmental Disabilities
Program/Resource Coordination is the local link to the Developmental
Disabilities Administration (DDA). This
program is designed to assist individuals with disabilities by processing
eligibility for DDA, to identify appropriate services and resources, to obtain
needed services, and to enable them to gain as much independence as possible in
their lives.
Who Should Apply for DDA Services?
Anyone with severe, chronic disability, other than the sole diagnosis of Mental
Illness and who needs/or will need residential, day, or support services may apply. Interpreter services are available.
Eligibility for Services:
Eligibility
depends upon your type of disability,
its effects on your ability to live
independently, and your age when you
became disabled. DDA services are not an
entitlement.
How to Apply?
To apply for
services, any Talbot County resident may make a referral by calling
410-819-5600 or complete a Referral Form which can be mailed or faxed.
