How do I become a client of the developmental disabilities administration?

You become a client of the developmental disabilities administration (DDA) if you apply for eligibility with DDA and DDA determines that you meet all eligibility criteria required to establish a developmental disability as defined in this chapter.

(2) You must complete and return the required forms, along with all supporting documentation that you have, to address any disability indicated in the eligibility packet.
