District of Columbia
Washington, D.C.'s Department on Disability Services combines the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA). DDA coordinates I/DD services and HCBS waiver supports; RSA handles vocational rehabilitation, assistive technology and employment.
Important: D.C. is not a state, but its disability system is state-like. DDA service eligibility and RSA vocational-rehabilitation eligibility are separate. Supported employment may involve coordination between both administrations, so ask which funding stream is responsible for the current employment plan.
