Crisis Support

Attention!

The Developmental Disabilities Supports Division (DDSD) is moving to the Health Care Authority (HCA). Our current webpages have moved to the Official HCA Website. Please go there for all future DDSD updates.

Developmental Disabilities Waiver

Developmental Disabilities Waiver (DDW) crisis supports are designed to provide an intensive level of supports by trained, seasoned staff to an individual experiencing a behavioral or medical crisis. These supports are requested through BBS regional staff and may be provided within the individual’s present residence or in an alternate residential setting. Please see Chapter 8 of the Developmental Disabilities Waiver Service Standards for more information regarding this DDW service.
