The Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) provides essential programs and services that help individuals with developmental disabilities live meaningful and independent lives. Family Partners works with families who qualify for DDD services, offering many of the supports that make daily life easier. From early childhood to adulthood, we’re here to walk with families through every stage of life.
Early Intervention and Childhood Support
For young children with developmental disabilities, early intervention is key. Through DDD, families may access therapies and supports designed to foster growth, improve communication, and build foundational life skills. These services not only help children thrive in school and social environments but also provide parents with tools and resources to better support their child’s development. Learn more about DDD eligibility requirements.
Support During the School Years
As children grow, their needs change. Families working with DDD may qualify for assistance through programs that complement educational plans, such as habilitation services that build daily living skills, respite care that supports families, and behavioral health services when needed. These supports help children succeed in school, participate in community activities, and develop confidence. Family Partners also provides Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) to support families during these critical years.
Transitioning to Adulthood
The transition from adolescence to adulthood can feel overwhelming for families. DDD provides guidance during this critical stage by offering vocational training, employment support, and independent living skills programs. These resources prepare young adults to pursue careers, manage personal responsibilities, and live with greater independence.

Adult Services and Long-Term Support
For adults with developmental disabilities, DDD ensures ongoing access to services such as adult day programs, employment services, and residential support through developmental homes. These programs focus on maintaining independence, encouraging social interaction, and enhancing overall quality of life. Family Partners proudly offers Adult Day Programs and Developmental Home Services to provide meaningful long-term care.
