Service & Support Administration
TuscBDD's Service and Support Administrators (SSA) assist over 700 people with developmental disabilities and their families to identify and acquire appropriate services and supports. People can choose services for themselves from a variety of resources.
- SSAs provide support to link individuals to the services and supports they need.
- SSAs help discover what is important to the person and what is important for the person.
- SSAs provide advocacy to safeguard the rights and protect the interests and choices of people served.
- SSAs also monitor and work closely with agencies and organizations that provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities.
- SSAs can determine eligibility - One SSA is assigned the activities to determine if someone qualifies for County Board of Developmental Disabilities services. Call the main telephone number to be connected to the staff person assigned to the eligibility process.
