You will need to provide DDD with extensive documentation. Some examples are:
- medical documentation of your disability

- all available psychological reports
- Child Study Team or school reports
- neurological evaluations
- psychiatric evaluations
- speech/therapy evaluations

A family member or other interested person can assist an individual in completing an application for DDD eligibilty, although they cannot apply on the individual's behalf.
Please note: A parent or legal guardian of a minor or the legal guardian of an adjudicated incapacitated adult may apply for services on the individual's behalf. Please see review Division Circular #3 for more details.
