Developmental Disabilities Coordinated Entry Programs

Programs designated as the gateway to access a community-wide, coordinated network of organizations that provide an assessment of the needs of people with developmental disabilities and their families who are seeking assistance and refer them to local organizations that provide the services and supports they need. Most such programs have current information about the specific services that are available, referral and waiting list management procedures, enrollment/admission decision criteria as well as hours, fees, language capacity and other factors that may be important.
