Who We Are
The Delaware County Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities supports eligible residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our mission is to enhance the lives of people with disabilities.
Services We Provide
The office consists of two units:
Administrative Entity – Oversees service providers and ensures compliance with state guidelines, manages intake, eligibility, provider relations, service authorization, quality management, and funding coordination.
Supports Coordination Organization – Offers case management services, connecting individuals and families to resources that promote a self-determined and fulfilling lifestyle.
Make a Referral
Families must first contact the Delaware County Administrative Entity Intake Specialist to determine if the individual meets eligibility requirements. Contact 610-713-2330 for information.
Once it is determined that you are eligible for supports in the Intellectual Disability system, you will select a Support Coordination Organization, meet with a Supports Coordinator who will develop a support plan, and will then coordinate supports for you and your family.
Services
The Supports Coordination Organization helps individuals and families coordinate assessments, connect with providers, and ensure effective services. Paid service options include community participation services, residential supports (LifeSharing, Family Living), in-home and community supports, companion services, respite, assistive technology, behavioral support, employment services, nursing, participant-directed supports, and family support services.
