Developmental Disabilities Administration Information

The Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) is the primary agency within state government that funds community services and supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families. DDA makes decisions about people’s eligibility for services and supports; places eligible people in priority categories on the DDA Waiting List; determines who on the Waiting List will receive services; and funds services, most of which are provided through licensed community agencies. DDA is located within the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH).
