Before you start

  • Diagnostic records, developmental history, school evaluations and IEPs, adaptive and functional information, medical records, prior eligibility records, and current examples of support needs.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above or ask DODD to identify the responsible county board, service and support administrator, program office, or notice-specific contact.

Step by step

  1. Ask the county board what instrument, records, interviews, or releases are required.
  2. Organize records by source and date and identify gaps.
  3. Submit an indexed packet and retain delivery proof and the written result.

Expected next

A completed review, request for additional information, assessment, eligibility determination, or appeal notice.

Save this proof

Evidence index, releases, submission receipt, assessment documents, and written determination.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the county board to identify the exact unresolved eligibility element and preserve the complaint or appeal route for an adverse action.
