The Coordinating Center partners with the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) to provide Coordination of Community Services (CCS) for individuals of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Our expert Coordinators are here to help you plan for the future and achieve your personal goals.
Through the CCS program, our Coordinators help you create a person-centered plan based on your goals for a meaningful life. We support you in making informed choices about your care and connect you with service providers and community resources. Our goal is to ensure you have the support you need to move forward with confidence.
