DDD

Independent Service Coordination (ISC) agencies serve as the primary connection between individuals (and guardians) who are seeking or receiving developmental disability services and the Illinois Department of Human Services' Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). Activities include outreach, eligibility determination, linkage to services, management of the Prioritization of Urgency of Need for Services (PUNS) database, case management (including ensuring informed choice, plan development and monitoring), and coordination of service delivery from other sources. These service coordination activities are critical contributions to a comprehensive system of high-quality services for individuals with developmental disabilities. ISC agencies are essential to providing accurate individual information for statewide planning, as well as collaborating with service providers to ensure individuals health, safety, welfare, well-being, and satisfaction with services funded by DDD.
