Who to contact
Assigned DDA Service Coordinator; the Service Planning and Coordination Division owns planning and monitoring.
Step by step
- Ask the Service Coordinator to schedule or confirm the person-centered planning process.
- Document what is important to and for the person, the outcomes sought, and each support required.
- Review the written ISP for accuracy, responsible parties, and unresolved service or funding decisions.
Expected next
A written ISP recording decisions and agreements from the person-centered planning process.
Save this proof
Meeting notice, attendance, assessments, draft and final ISP, signatures or documented agreement, and unresolved-items list.
If this stalls or the answer is no
Ask the Service Coordinator to identify the policy step, missing assessment, or unresolved decision blocking the ISP; escalate to the supervisor when necessary.

Limits
The ISP documents the plan; it does not prove that every listed service is funded, authorized, or available from a provider.
Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
