Low intensity support services require documentation of disability. Residential, day and supported employment services require a completed Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) application plus documentation of disability. The DDA application can be requested through our office. When completing the application, present a realistic picture of the applicant’s challenges and skills. Be certain that you communicate the reasons the applicant needs services. If you have any questions while completing the application, please feel free to give us a call. Mail or drop your application to: Wicomico County Health Dept. Developmental Disabilities Program 108 E. Main Street Salisbury, MD 21804 After documentation has been obtained a Resource Coordinator will contact you and set up a meeting. During your meeting, emphasize again the applicant’s needs and challenges. Present copies of any new relevant paperwork, and discuss any new information that may affect the application. The Resource Coordinator will forward the application, documentation and other relevant forms to the regional DDA office for review. The DDA representative will make a recommendation about the application. The representative will recommend (a) whether or not the applicant is eligible for services, (b) which services the applicant is eligible for, and the priority recommended for funding for each service, provided funds are available. DDA reviews the recommendations and application. A decision is made regarding the eligibility for services. A letter is sent to the applicant and copied to the Resource Coordinator. If the decision regarding your application or eligibility is not what you wanted or expected, you may file an appeal. The DDA representative can help you with this process.
