Lessons learned were that integrating culture takes time, investing in boards is important, partnerships with funders are critical, underfunded payment rates limit innovation, and outside assistance is essential.

3. A message from the Executive Director
- John Dumas, Executive Director
For more than 32 years, Service Coordination, Inc. has helped individuals with disabilities identify available
resources and we have worked alongside people we support to help make choices that are best for them. We
began as one of the nation’s first independent Resource Coordination provider agencies serving people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. We believed then and maintain our belief that services should be
tailored to meet the desires of individuals and his or her choices.
Individuals who receive Resource Coordination in Maryland now have a choice of his or her Resource
Coordination provider. Because choice for individuals has always been the foundation of our services, we
support your new opportunity for this important choice. We remain dedicated to honoring individual's options
and supporting your wants and needs. Service Coordination, Inc. is a nonprofit resource coordination agency.
This means we do not operate to earn a profit, but rather to support community members in need of our
services and to fulfill our mission of providing quality support services. So, individual's interests and well-being
remains our guiding path.
As a nonprofit organization, we are governed by a Board of Directors, consisting of a volunteer group of
community members. They oversee our organization to ensure that we adhere to this commitment to
community. Service Coordination, Inc. is the most experienced resource coordination provider in the state of
Maryland with more than three decades of experience. We operate by listening to people’s wants and needs.
We always listen first, and then we plan and search for connections that can lead to improving one’s quality of
life. The dedication of our extremely committed staff and invaluable support from our Board of Directors makes
this possible.
Our resource coordinators work directly alongside the individuals we help support. On average, our staff have
5 years’ experience and are highly educated. Our work force service model includes equipping our resource
coordinators with the appropriate mobile technology to perform their work anywhere, thus providing greater
convenience, accessibility and flexibility in our services. Service Coordination, Inc. takes great pride in our level
of service for each individual who can benefit from our Resource Coordination services.
We have earned the Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organization Standard of Excellence Tier II Certification
which demonstrates our organization’s foundation and management expertise. Our mission, experience and
commitment to honoring individual's choices helps us provide the best resource coordination services. If we
can assist or help explain anything regarding the DDA choice process, please let us know.

OUR HISTORY
4
In 1982 The Arc of Frederick County established one of the nation’s first independent Resource
Coordination initiatives serving people with developmental disabilities. The Service Coordination
division was founded on the belief that people with disabilities could benefit from having resource
coordinators act as brokers within the service delivery system to help ensure that services were
tailored to meet individual desires.
The initiative began with seven service coordinators who served 173 people. In the 30 plus years
since the initiative was created the Service Coordination division expanded into 10 counties across
Maryland and Baltimore City.
In 2005, Service Coordination, Inc. was established as an independent nonprofit organization and
spun off from The Arc of Frederick County. The spin-off was necessary due to the tremendous
growth the agency experienced and the need to have one organization focused on providing service
coordination for so many people. Service Coordination formed a new board of directors, adopted new
bylaws and began operations as an independent organization on January 1, 2006.
Service Coordination, Inc. preserved its leadership, the staff of service coordinators, an effective
approach to coordinating services, the relationship with the Maryland Developmental Disabilities
Administration and the founding belief about the role and value of service coordination for people with
developmental disabilities.
Service Coordination, Inc. is now the largest Resource Coordination provider in the state, supporting
more than 13,600 Marylanders. Currently, we help support about 60% of people who receive
Resource Coordination services in the state. We now provide our Resource Coordination services to
individuals residing in the Central, Western and Southern Regions, as outlined by the Developmental
Disability Administration (DDA).
We also employ more than 270 service coordinators throughout Maryland. Our service coordinators
are highly qualified and experienced, with 96% having a Bachelor’s degree or higher, and service
coordinators having on average 5 years’ experience.

resource coordinator. Upon referral, we match individuals with local service coordinators who are
knowledgeable about the resources available in the community where the individual lives and works.

coordinator. Individuals are able to choose a new Resource Coordination provider at any time and will

Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) Priority levels
1. CRISIS RESOLUTION
The highest priority level is reserved for people in emergent circumstances that require
immediate intervention, or will require it shortly. Often, the situations that meet this category's
criteria arise suddenly (e.g., the death of a caregiver). Crisis Resolution is for people who are:
• Homeless or will be homeless within 30 days
• Victims of abuse or neglect
• At serious risk of causing physical harm to others
• Living with a caregiver who is unable to provide adequate care due to the caregiver's
impaired health
2. CRISIS PREVENTION
This category is for people with an urgent need who are in deteriorating circumstances that
put them in danger of meeting one or more Crisis Resolution criteria within 1 year. Crisis
Prevention priority also includes individuals who have caregivers over age 65. Because age
alone is not always a good predictor of the need for services, priority recommendations and
determinations should address risk for the Crisis Resolution category within a year, when
that is the case, as well as the age of the caregiver. The Crisis Prevention category is also
appropriate in situations where a less intense intervention or support, provided sooner, might
delay or eliminate the need for a more extensive service in the future.
3. CURRENT REQUEST
The Current Request priority is the lowest level of priorities. There are no crisis implications
associated with current request, but there is an expectation that the individual has an actual
need for DDA funding. The test for this category is the question, "Would the person take the
service today, if it was offered today, or is there an anticipated event within the next three
years, such as exiting school, retirement of caregiver, ageing out of children's residential
placements?" This category is not for people who simply want to be identified for planning
purposes as potential service recipients.

SERVICE CATEGORIES:

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive assessments are completed for DDA to make a determination about one’s
eligibility for available services.
TRANSITION SERVICE
Youth in transition to adulthood begin to plan for service needs and funding options at age 14.
A service coordinator assists the child and parent or guardian with steps to take for a smooth
transition to adulthood, no later than age 21.
COMMUNITY COORDINATION
Service Coordination, Inc. provides assistance with coordinating community services to match
an individual’s wants and needs. Some of these include: employment, housing, recreation,
social and more.
WAITING LIST
Service Coordination, Inc. provides support to individuals on the Developmental Disabilities
Administration (DDA) Waiting List. The DDA Waiting List is comprised of adults and children
with developmental disabilities who are waiting for funding from DDA to obtain community-
based services.
12. OUR TEAM

and motivated to achieve.

13. MOBILE SERVICES
In 2013, Service Coordination embarked on a new endeavor to better serve the
individuals who count on us for resource coordination. We launched a program to GO
MOBILE. Now, our resource coordinators are equipped with technology and training
to perform their duties at places that may better meet your needs. Our services have
since become more flexible and more accessible to individuals we support.
With our mobile operating process, meeting locations can be at a direct care agency, a
public meeting place or in your home. In addition to the flexibility in geographic meeting
places, our mobile abilities also allow for more convenient meeting times; including
those outside of traditional business hours.
We provide our resource coordination services to individuals
residing in the Southern, Central and Western Regions of Maryland,
as outlined by the Developmental Disability Administration.

and marketing ideas. The Maryland Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) provides
limited funding (typically not exceeding $15,000) to assist with the implementation of
some business plans favorably reviewed by the RISE Program review committee.

The Social Security Administration has three programs for employment support:
• Ticket to Work Program: The Social Security Administration automatically sends
the “tickets” to eligible people receiving SSI or SSDI. The “ticket” can be taken to an
employment network for assistance with locating and keeping a job. There is no cost.
The Social Security Administration has contracted to help you select an employment
provider.

• IRWE (Impairment-Related Work Expense): This is for SSI and SSDI recipients. This
program allows you to subtract the costs of items and services that are disability and
work related to be deducted from your earnings before calculating the final disability
benefit award so that you will not lose as much of your SSI or SSDI check.
• P.A.S.S. (Plan for Achieving Self Support): This program allows a person to save
money to fund an employment related activity (such as an educational or training
program or to start a business). This saved money would not be part of the assets used
when determining SSI eligibility.

TRANSITIONING RESOURCES
What is “Transitioning Youth”?
The formal process of transition begins
in the school system when a student
is 14 years old and continues until the
student leaves school for the adult world.
Eligible students with intellectual and
developmental disabilities are entitled to
remain in school until the year of their 21st
birthday. However, services after the age
of 21 are dependent on meeting eligibility
requirements and on the availability of
funds.
The Division of Rehabilitation Services
(DORS) and the Developmental Disabilities
Administration (DDA) are two state
agencies that offer services to transitioning
youth who meet eligibility requirements.
For DDA services, obtaining GTYI funding
depends on:
• the person’s eligibility for DDA services;
• the availability of funding; and
• completing the process within
a specific time frame.
Types of service include a variety of
employment and non-employment options.
Review the time line on the following page to
learn more about the transitioning youth process.

WORKING WITH PROVIDERS
SELECTING A DDA LICENSED PROVIDER AGENCY
One of the most difficult decisions is choosing which DDA (Developmental Disabilities
Administration) agency to provide you with Residential, Vocational, and/or Support Services.
Most important is to pay attention to how you feel when you talk to a provider as well as the
information they share. In addition, ask to visit the site where services will be provided. Be
sure to visit when people are receiving services. For services where there is no site location,
ask for at least three examples of how the agency is currently supporting others.
Here are some questions that you might want to think about asking as you consider
your agency selection:
• How do you balance treating people with respect and the need for privacy and safety?
• How individualized, available and consistent are recreational and socialization
opportunities?
• How do you respond to life changes (marriage, retirement, etc.)?
• What are some names of people and/or families who are currently receiving services
that I could talk to about your agency?
• How many people with developmental disabilities and family members are on your
board?
• How long have you been in business?
• Are you accredited by any accrediting bodies and what professional organization(s)
do you belong to?
• Will staff supporting me be hired by the agency or by me and my family?
• What is your hiring and on-going practice for ensuring well-trained qualified staff?
• How are people’s finances handled in your agency? How often is a report available to
me on how my funds are being used?
• How do I get a hold of someone “after hours”?
• How do you communicate to the family in case of an emergency?
• What is your access to outside resources for information, medical guidance,
dietary guidance, behavioral modifications, etc.?
• Do you provide personal care service?
• Is transportation available during the week? On weekends?
• What is your policy on participants and staff taking sick and vacation days?
• What emergency back-up systems do you have in place for behavioral and
medical issues?
• Are staff qualified to administer both prescription and non-prescription medications?
• Do you have good relationships with neighbors and/or other community connections
where people live?
• If a problem arises, who do I speak to? What is the best way to contact this person?
• How quickly can people expect the agency to act upon issues raised?

WORKING WITH PROVIDERS
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A PROVIDER AGENCY
To receive supports and services funded by the DDA (Developmental Disabilities
Administration), many people will need to choose a provider agency. This may require some
negotiation with the agency to ensure you and the provider have agreed on exactly what they
will be providing.
From your chosen provider, you should expect:
• That you have staff you like who you feel help you and do their job.
• That you are treated with respect and kindness.
• That your privacy and right to confidentiality are respected.
• That what you want is discussed at your annual planning meeting and that what you want
then happens in a reasonable amount of time.
• That the plan and your services are flexible and change as you need them to change.
• That you are supported in making choices, including where you live, work and the social
activities you participate in.
• That your health and safety needs are met with dignity.
• That you have access to your money to do what you prefer and need to do.
• That you are happy with your life and your supports and services, and that you
receive help when you have problems.
• That your provider acts ethically and with honesty and integrity.

25. WORKING WITH PROVIDERS
COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR PROVIDER AGENCY
We all hope that once you are accessing services from a DDA (Developmental Disabilities
Administration) provider that everything will be smooth sailing. Often that is the case, but
unfortunately, there are times when something may just not be working out. When you have a
problem with a provider agency or you believe they have one with you, it is best to discuss it
early before it becomes a larger issue or is unable to be resolved.
Some tips to help you in this process are:
• Write down what you want before you meet with the provider. Tell them as specifically as
you can what you want in terms of supports and services.
• Make a list of the things in your life you “have to have” and also note areas in which you
are willing to compromise.
• Listen to what they tell you they can do. Ask questions if you do not understand exactly
what they are saying they will provide.
• Get things in writing. Look at the plan and ask for changes if it is not what you think you
agreed to have. Include timelines and who is responsible for getting what done.
• Find out who to talk to if you are still unhappy with the services being provided to you.
Know your rights and the appeal process.
• Keep in mind, your Service Coordinator can be contacted to assist you in resolving matters
with your provider agency.
• Remember that DDA funding is assigned to you, and if necessary, you can change to
another provider agency. Be aware that the actual amount of funding may possibly change
with this process, and includes the possibility of leaving you with less funds for a given
service. Your Service Coordinator will help you with changing your provider agency.

26. COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
There is not one single “right” way for people to connect to their communities. Some
relationships happen quickly, others will grow over time, and some will always require
someone to help nurture the relationship along.
Flexibility can be the key to making connections work. Remember that connections
can vary from those casual relationships that you develop with the employees at your
favorite eatery or the grocery store you use, to strong friendships.
All relationships can add to your life.

community today!
