Before you start

  • IEP and transition records, exit date, Summary of Performance if available, disability and functional records, work experiences, employment goal, accommodations, communication needs, adult-DD application status, and representative information.

Who to contact

Use the regional adult-DD office, Medicaid, independent assessment provider, plan developer, support broker, provider, appeal unit, crisis service, or protective-report route that owns this step.

Find the adult-DD regional office for your county

Step by step

  1. Ask the school to document adult-agency referrals, records, responsibilities, and exit deliverables.
  2. Apply to Idaho VR or contact the local office; use student Pre-ETS when applicable.
  3. Open the adult-DD application separately and save proof for every system.

Expected next

A school deliverable, VR application or eligibility event, possible Order-of-Selection status, Pre-ETS action, or adult-DD intake event.

Save this proof

School records, VR application and notices, Pre-ETS 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 system.
