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.
Accreditation 2025
In March, a team of CARF Surveyors rated the Association on more than 2000 Standards and the result was outstanding!
We are proud of the staff that keeps us going and respected in our community. We completed another CARF accreditation survey at the start of the year and were awarded another 3-year accreditation. Our entire DDA team worked diligently to prepare our sites and services for assessment. Great work!
The 2025 Survey resulted in the Association’s seventh 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.
DDA’s next accreditation survey will take place in May of 2028.
The work that leads to continuous improvement and enables future successful accreditation is ongoing. The contributions of everyone at DDA, volunteers, employees, Board Members and community partners, in support of the mission of DDA, enable us to achieve such outstanding accreditation results.
