CAse Management Services

Your CCS will assist you and the IEP team in planning and applying for the services needed after graduation. This process starts early in high school, and requires planning and follow up from the student and their family. In order to be eligible for TY services in Maryland, the following criteria must be met:

• Maryland resident
• 21 years old
• DD eligible (DDA determines this)
• Eligible for Medical Assistance
• Your CCS will assist you in completing a Waiver Application service and working with your student’s adult services provider to get the necessary paperwork submitted to DDA.
• Once the plans are finalized, you will receive an Approval Letter from DDA.

There are many details in determining the right services for you and your family. Your Coordinator of Community Services (CCS) is your partner, advocate, and guide while you get through this process. The CCS will continue to meet with you at regular intervals, provide the information you need, and be your “go-to” for information, ideas, and support.

At Optimal Health Care, we understand that each person has different hopes, dreams, and goals. We believe in a team approach that includes everyone’s best ideas and helps people with disabilities enjoy lives of their own design, full of experiences they have chosen.

We sincerely hope you will choose Optimal Health Care as your DDA Community Coordination provider, and allow us to serve you. The future awaits!
