Washington DDA
Enrolling with Developmental Disabilities Community Services (formerly DDA)
Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) · Washington State
The state agency that funds long-term supports for children and adults with developmental disabilities, such as respite, assistive technology and personal care. Enrolling is the first step and is separate from asking for services. You request an enrollment packet, return it with supporting documents, and receive a decision; after that you can request services, which have their own financial and functional requirements. Newer state publications call the agency Developmental Disabilities Community Services (DDCS); some of its pages still say Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA). Phone numbers differ by region and are listed on the enrollment page.

Individual and Family Services (IFS) Waiver
Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) · Washington State
A Medicaid waiver for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who live with their family. It pays for supports that help a person keep living at home, and gives the family a say in how the allocated funds are used. Services listed by the state include respite care, assistive technology, specialized equipment and supplies, environmental adaptations, community engagement, peer mentoring, staff and family consultation, and transportation. Some therapies under this waiver are only for adults aged 21 and over.

What this guide is, and is not

NeuroPath Kids is not a government agency, benefits administrator, insurer, legal service or healthcare provider. We cannot decide whether your family qualifies for a program. The official source is always the authority, and rules change, so please confirm details there before you rely on them.
