What information is a person with developmental disabilities required to provide to a CDDO?
In order to be considered for services, an eligibility determination must be made by the CDDO. Information concerning the type of disability, severity of the disability, and date of on-set of the disability will be required as well as personal financial information, guardian information and what services are being sought. The CDDO must also collect information concerning the person’s medical condition, how well he or she performs activities of daily living such as dressing, eating, etc., and whether the person has behavioral support needs. If the person seeking services is under the age of five, the assessment may be less detailed. Any applicant for services who refuses to release information to the CDDO should be aware they may be determined not eligible for funding of services by DD. Individual information is updated at least annually and is always confidential.
