- What is a developmental disability?
-
A Developmental Disability is a condition that begins at birth or during the growing years. This means it was present before age 18 for intellectual disability and before age 22 for other developmental disabilities. The condition affects the brain, causes significant impairment in everyday living skills, and is expected to continue indefinitely.
Examples of eligible conditions include but are not limited to:
- Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Cerebral Palsy
- Down Syndrome
- Intellectual Disability
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders associated with alcohol and drug exposure in utero
- Seizure Disorder/Epilepsy
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Other genetic conditions that directly impact the brain
Intellectual disability and other qualifying developmental disabilities are confirmed through diagnostic information and standardized testing by qualified professionals.

Adult eligibility continues without redetermination unless we receive evidence that contradicts the adult determination. You will be notified in writing when a redetermination is required.
