How does DDA determine the number of community inclusion services hours you may receive each month?

(1) The number of hours of community inclusion services you may receive each month is based on your community inclusion service level.
(2) The developmental disabilities administration (DDA) determines your community inclusion service level based on your support intensity scale (SIS) support needs index percentile ranking.
