💙 What is the DDA?

DDA stands for the Developmental Disabilities Administration.

In Maryland, the DDA supports eligible people with developmental disabilities by connecting them to services and resources that can help them live the life they choose.

Depending on a person's needs and eligibility, supports may include things like:

🏠 Support at home and in the community
👥 Personal support
💙 Respite
💼 Employment and job supports
🧰 Assistive technology
🌱 Services that support independence and community participation

The DDA process can feel overwhelming at first—and you're not expected to figure it out alone.

Understanding what DDA is, who may qualify, and how to apply is often the first step.

Have questions about DDA or aren't sure where to start? We're here to help!

"🎒 School Is Only One Part of the Picture

Back-to-school season brings a lot of focus to academics, IEP goals, and what happens in the classroom. But for many students with developmental disabilities, there’s a much bigger picture.

School is also a great time to think about the skills that support life inside and outside the classroom:

🗣️ Communication — Expressing wants, needs, choices, and concerns
🧍 Independence — Building skills at home and in the community
🛟 Safety — Recognizing danger, seeking help, and communicating when something is wrong
🤝 Social Goals — Friendships, boundaries, self-advocacy, and community participation
🌱 Future Planning — Thinking about what comes after graduation and building toward it now

Every skill is a piece of the picture. And every piece matters.

Back to school is a great time to think beyond the classroom. 🍂
