Parent of a child entering high school? There is support for children with any kind of medical diagnosis that could be a barrier to finding a job and thriving in the workplace (including
allergies and conditions that affect mobility, etc.) Speak in-person in a quieter, semi-private area at All-County Preparedness Day with the caring professionals who can connect you
to services.
Remember:
* Higher IQs are no longer a barrier to receiving developmental disabilities services.
* Minors living in households with higher family incomes may still receive services.
* A lifetime of support services is available to eligible people of all ages through Washington State Developmental Disabilities Community Services (DDCS) (Formerly DDA).
One simplified definition of intellectual and developmental disability:
Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) originate before age 18, continue indefinitely, and cause limitations. A few examples of IDD include cerebral palsy, epilepsy, Down
Syndrome, various learning disabilities, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
