Quality Assurance - Developmental Disabilities Association

Quality Assurance

All services offered by the Developmental Disabilities Association are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, or CARF. CARF accreditation certifies that the practices and policies of the Developmental Disabilities Association meet or exceed a comprehensive list of international standards that can be applied to Community Service Agencies. Accreditation is achieved following a review of practice by a qualified team of surveyors.

In May of 2021, a team of CARF Surveyors rated the Association on more than 900 Standards and the result was outstanding!

The 2021 Survey resulted in the Association’s sixth 3-year accreditation award.

The CARF survey report recognizes DDA for quality and innovation in creating person-centered services that achieve meaningful results for individuals and families.
