How often must a Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) service plan be reviewed?

A Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) service plan must be reviewed at least annually to ensure that the objectives and services are still relevant and effective for the individual’s needs and goals. This annual review process is essential for adapting to any changes in the individual’s circumstances, preferences, or health status. It also allows for the introduction of new services or supports that may better assist the individual in achieving their desired outcomes.

Regular annual reviews help ensure that the service plan remains a dynamic and responsive tool reflecting the individual's current situation and aspirations, thereby promoting their overall well-being and progress within the service system. While more frequent reviews can be beneficial in certain situations, the annual requirement establishes a baseline for regular assessment and adjustment.
