General Eligibility
The Department of Economic Security (DES) Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) provides services to individuals with developmental delays and disabilities and their families. The services are based on age and specific eligibility based on federal requirements and referral/application processes. We have included general eligibility guidelines by age band below, but we highly recommend you visit DDD’s Determine Eligibility landing page for the most complete and accurate information.
Age 0 (Birth) to 3:
For early intervention services, children age birth to three must have a significant delay in one or more developmental areas or an established condition that could lead to a developmental disability. To make a referral for a child, please contact the AzEIP Central Referral Line (Raising Special Kids) toll-free at (888) 592-0140 or by e-mail at AzEIP.Info@raisingspecialkids.org. Once a child has been made eligible for AzEIP, with the family’s consent, DDD eligibility will be determined.

A person age 3 years to 6 years must 1) voluntarily apply, 2) be an Arizona resident, and 3) either have one of the following developmental disabilities: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual (Cognitive) Disability, Epilepsy, Down Syndrome OR be at-risk for developing one of these disabilities to qualify for Division of Developmental Disabilities services.
