At other times, only one agency will be engaged in treatment and service provision. If you need any assistance navigating this labyrinth, please feel free to contact our offices.

  • The Division of Developmental Disabilities

    (DDD) provides supports and services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families throughout Arizona.

    Services to children and adults with developmental disabilities are delivered in the family or person’s own home. Services are provided based on each person’s identified needs, state and/or federal guidelines and, when applicable, the availability of funds. Services are authorized and monitored by a support coordinator (case manager). The support coordinator promotes access to community resources and flexibility in meeting the person’s needs. While some services are delivered directly by the State, most services are delivered through a large network of individual and agency contracted providers.
