The mission of the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) is to ensure that people with developmental disabilities have equal opportunities and receive the services and supports they need to live and work in South Dakota communities.
Intervention and Support Specialists
Intervention and Support Specialists (formally Resource Coordinators) help individuals with developmental disabilities and their families understand and access the services available through DDD, and connect with other resources available in their communities. Contacting one of them is your first step in accessing these services.
Service Options Available:
Community Support Providers (CSP) – 20 community support agencies in South Dakota provide residential, employment, and nursing care in a variety of settings.
Family Support 360 – Local programs which provide services coordination, companion care, personal care services, adaptive equipment, respite care, and employment services for individuals living with their family or in their own home.
Conflict-Free Case Management – Case Managers help develop an Individual Service Plan, focus on services and supports, create a person-center plan, and advocate for your child’s desired services.
Shared Living – The arrangement of services through shared living is provided in the private home of a participant, or a family, in which care is provided.
