DDA Guide to Services
The Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration is an excellent resource for people with developmental disabilities and their families. The state agency provides services for the people who need them; it works directly with people with developmental disabilities and their families to provide leadership and resources; and, like SCI, it believes that everyone has the right to live their preferred lives.
However, as the DDA has so much to offer, finding what you are looking for isn’t always easy. Until now!
