How to Apply for DDD Services in Arizona

A Step-by-Step Guide for Families

If your loved one has a developmental disability, you may be eligible for support through Arizona’s Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). This program provides services and resources designed to help individuals live independent, meaningful lives while receiving the care they need.

For many families, navigating the application process can feel overwhelming. Understanding the steps involved can make the process easier and help you access services sooner.

What Is the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD)?

The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) is part of the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES). The program helps individuals with developmental disabilities live self-directed, healthy, and meaningful lives by providing services and support that promote independence and community participation.

DDD services may include in-home care, support for daily living activities, therapies, employment support, and respite care for family caregivers.

Who Qualifies for DDD Services?

To qualify for DDD services in Arizona, an individual must have a diagnosis of one of the following developmental disabilities:

  • Autism
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Epilepsy
  • Cognitive or intellectual disability
  • Down syndrome

Children under the age of six who are considered at risk of developing a developmental disability may also qualify for early intervention services.

In addition to a qualifying diagnosis, the disability must have occurred before the age of 18 and significantly impact the individual’s daily functioning.

Step 1: Submit a DDD Application

The first step is submitting an Eligibility Application to Arizona’s Division of Developmental Disabilities.

Families can download the official application form here:

📄 DDD Eligibility Application:

Once completed, the form can be submitted to the Arizona Department of Economic Security according to the instructions included in the application.

Step 2: Gather Supporting Documentation

After submitting the application, you will need to provide documentation to support the eligibility review. This may include:

  • Medical records
  • Diagnostic evaluations
  • Psychological assessments
  • School records (for children)
  • Individualized Education Program (IEP) documents if applicable

These records help DDD determine whether the applicant meets the eligibility requirements for services.

Step 3: Eligibility Review Process

DDD specialists will review the application and documentation to determine eligibility.

This process may involve:

  • Reviewing medical and developmental records
  • Requesting additional evaluations if necessary
  • Speaking with the applicant or family members

To learn more about the eligibility process, families can visit the Arizona DES page here:

This page provides additional details about how eligibility decisions are made and what families can expect during the process.

Step 4: Create an Individual Support Plan (ISP)

If the individual is approved for services, they will be assigned a DDD Support Coordinator who will help develop an Individual Support Plan (ISP).

This plan outlines:

  • The individual’s personal goals
  • Types of services needed
  • Approved service hours
  • Providers who will deliver the services

The ISP ensures that services are personalized and focused on helping the individual live as independently as possible.

Step 5: Choose a Service Provider

Once services are approved, families can choose a provider to deliver care.
