18,000 Marylanders Wait for Services!

END THE WAIT NOW! CAMPAIGN

The Governor is working on his next budget for the Developmental Disabilities Administration, which begins a year from now FY 2010.

Visit www.endthewaitnow.com to sign the petition to call on Governor O'Malley and the legislature to consider these citizens' critical needs and provide funding for DDA Community Services.

We offer a wide variety of services and programs to people of all ages with disabilities and their families. We also offer access to an extensive array of resources. Below you will find a current listing of our programs and services, organized within our four core functions.

For additional local, state, and national resources, please visit the Resource Finder, a valuable tool for families and professionals to obtain information and access resources on developmental disabilities.
