Section 388-828-1580. Why does DDD require all questions on mandatory panels to be answered in the DDD assessment?  


Latest version.
  • DDD requires that all questions on mandatory panels be answered because:
    (1) The legislature has directed DDD to assess all eligible clients with a common, standardized assessment process that measures the support needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.
    (2) The DDD assessment algorithms in the support assessment module are designed to:
    (a) Determine acuity scores and acuity levels for a variety client needs; and
    (b) Provide a valid measure of each client's support needs relative to the support needs of other clients who have received the DDD assessment.
