Before you start

Find the Developmental Disabilities Resource Connection serving your area

Step by step

  1. Ask the school to document adult-agency referrals, records, responsibilities, and exit deliverables.
  2. Start an Alaska DVR self-referral or contact the office serving the community and school.
  3. Open the DD determination separately and preserve proof for every system.

Expected next

A school deliverable, DVR orientation, application or eligibility event, DD application event, or written next step.

Save this proof

School exit records, DVR referral and contacts, DD application proof, owners, and next dates.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Contact each system directly and ask it to confirm receipt and ownership; do not assume one referral opened another.
