Access and Referral for Developmental or Intellectual Disability

Before you start

  • County, current needs, diagnosis and records, benefits status, current services, waiver status, risks, contact information, and the specific help requested.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the county-linked ADRC or CMHC, the case manager, the operating agency, or the exact contact on the controlling notice.

Find the ADRC region assigned to the county

Find the county CMHC Access and Referral route

Step by step

  1. Use the official county selector or call the statewide ADRC at 877-925-0037.
  2. Request Access and Referral support for I/DD records, financial eligibility, or waiver application needs.
  3. Track each referral, application, and program decision separately.

Expected next

A short-term A&R contact, records activity, waiver or benefits referral, other-service referral, or documented non-fit.

Save this proof

Contact details, record requests, referrals, program responses, and next-event dates.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Call the county CMHC or statewide ADRC again and ask who owns the referral and what event comes next.
