At Prayerful Hearts Support Services, we are dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the supports available through the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and other essential services. Below, you'll find direct links and resources to guide you through the process of accessing state-provided services, understanding eligibility requirements, and learning about the different programs available to assist those with developmental disabilities.
The Division of Developmental Disabilities
The Arizona Department of Economic Security’s Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) provides essential services and support to individuals with developmental disabilities. DDD offers resources such as in-home support, vocational programs, and health services aimed at enhancing quality of life and promoting independence. Visit the DDD website for more information on eligibility, services, and community resources designed to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Navigating Services with DDD
Life is complicated. Systems that assist people with developmental disabilities are even more complex. This book is to help members, parents, guardians, healthcare decision makers, and providers understand the many systems they may work with along the way. Some of the information in this document may never be needed. Other information may be very helpful, this document describes how to "navigate" the system.
Eligibility for DDD services
The DDD Eligibility Packet provides comprehensive guidance for individuals and families seeking services through Arizona’s Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). It outlines the eligibility requirements for individuals from birth to adulthood, detailing the necessary documentation, application steps, and the criteria for developmental disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disability, Epilepsy, and Down Syndrome. This packet is essential for understanding how to apply, what documents are needed, and how eligibility is determined at various life stages.
Support for families
Raising Special Kids is an Arizona-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families of children with disabilities and special health care needs. They offer free resources, guidance, and training to help parents navigate complex systems like education, healthcare, and disability services. The organization also provides emotional support, family-to-family connections, and advocacy assistance, empowering families to find the best solutions for their children.
Arizona Long Term Care Services (ALTCS)
The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) DD/ALTCS page provides information on Arizona's Long Term Care Services (ALTCS) for individuals with developmental disabilities. It explains how eligible individuals can receive Medicaid benefits, including long-term care and support services, through the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). This resource is essential for understanding the eligibility criteria, the application process, and the range of services covered under ALTCS.
