Developmental Disabilities Program (DDP)
Autism Facilities Grant for Providers
Developmental Disabilities Workforce Capacity Development Near-Term Initiative
Persons with developmental disabilities are much the same as everyone else and able to do the things that others can - they just may need extra help to get things done.
It is important for everyone to live and work within their home communities and the assistance and support of their families and friends, but sometimes more assistance and training is needed than family friends, communities or other natural supports can provide on their own. There may be a need for additional help from services through the Montana Developmental Disabilities Program.
We are located throughout the State of Montana with the DDP Central Office in Helena and Regional Offices in Glasgow, Great Falls, Billings, Helena, and Missoula as well as satellite offices in Miles City, Butte, Bozeman, and Kalispell.
Services provided to eligible persons through the Developmental Disabilities Program are available at no cost to individuals of any age. Many kinds of services are offered through providers in communities or self-directed options. This support is separate from other assistance that is provided through schools, Medicaid, private insurance, Social Security, and other sources.
The DDP administers three primary services:
