DDA: Waiting List

For people with developmental disabilities and those who support them

What is the DDA?

The Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) provides services and supports for children and adults of all ages with developmental disabilities. You qualify for DDA services if (1) the DDA finds that you have a dev elopmental disability, (2) DDA has funding for you, and (3) you meet financial and tech nical eligibility requirements. People who begin receiving DDA services usually continue receiving services as long as they remain eligible. Visit dda.health.maryland.gov for more information.

What is the DDA waiting list?

DDA cannot serve all people who have been found

to be eligible because it has limited funding. Eligible people with developmental disabilities who will need DDA services in less than three years are on the DDA waiting list. If the DDA believes you won't need services for three years, you will be placed on the "Future Needs Registry" instead of the waiting list. People on the waiting list will have a Coordinator of

Community Services (CCS). People on the Future

Needs Registry will not have a CCS. The DDA places each person on the waiting list in a "priority category."

What is a DDA priority category?

?e DDA has rules for who gets services and who will need to wait. Each person is assigned to a group according to their needs, their caregiver's abilities, and the time spent waiting for services. Each group is called a priority category. ?e rules describe the priority categories.

Please see the fact sheet titled

"Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration" for more information.

DDA Priority Categories:

•Crisis Resolution, meaning you are homeless, your caregiver is no longer able to support you, or you are at serious risk of harm or harming others

•Transitioning youth aged 21 or 22, or

•Living in an institution.

What is the Future Needs Registry?

When the DDA decides that a person with

a developmental disability will not need services for three years, DDA places them on another list called the

Future Needs Registry

What if I am on the DDA Waiting List

or Future Needs Registry and my circumstances change? You can ask to be moved to a different priority category if your circumstances change or if you believe DDA made a mistake. If you are on the DDA Waiting List or Future Needs Registry and you need the DDA to make a change - including if you have an urgent need or are in crisis - call your Coordinator of Community Services (if you have one) or DDA (1-844-253-8694).

Why isn't there enough money to help

everyone who is waiting? Most people who begin getting DDA services continue to receive them year after year. The DDA yearly budget has to grow each time a new person gets services.

The DDA now spends almost one billion dollars to

support about 15,000 people. Every year the budget increases to serve more people including transitioning youth and people in crisis, and to help with rising costs.

But the DDA still does not have enough money to

support everyone on the waiting list.

How can I help?

In Maryland, the governor decides how much

money the DDA gets each year. ?e Maryland General Assembly approves the governor's budget. Each year, advocates work very hard to inform the governor and state legislators about how important DDA services are. You can help by joining advocacy groups such as: ?e Arc Maryland www.thearcmd.org
