LIDDA Overview and Responsibilities

Before you start

  • Prior diagnoses, IQ and adaptive-functioning information when available, evidence of a related condition, developmental onset, school evaluations, medical records, and current functional information.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above or the LIDDA, service coordinator, program office, or contact named in the current notice.

Step by step

  1. Ask the LIDDA which determination or assessment is being completed.
  2. Request missing records and organize them by source and date.
  3. Submit an indexed packet and retain delivery proof.

Expected next

An assessment step, request for additional evidence, eligibility status, or program-specific enrollment action.

Save this proof

Evidence index, releases, assessment records, submissions, receipts, and notices.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the LIDDA to name the exact missing evidence, assessment, or program criterion rather than relying on a general verbal answer.
