Resource Coordination assist individuals with developmental disability who are in the DDA medical assistance waiver in obtaining the best quality and most appropriate services and supports with available resources within the community. Resource Coordinators provide case management and advocate for the individual receiving services. How does an individual become eligible for Resource Coordination?
