The Office of Licensing, Certification and Regulation (OLCR) issues HCBS certificates. Agencies that provide services to DDD members must have an HCBS certificate. This includes individuals and provider agencies. HCBS certification helps make sure direct care workers are qualified to support people with developmental disabilities.

These services include:

  • Attendant Care
  • Day Treatment and Training
  • Habilitation
  • Personal Care
  • Respite Care
  • Therapy Services
  • Transportation
  • Several other services designed for DDD members
