On June 9, the Developmental Disabilities Administration released its draft DDA Waiver Amendment Application. The public comment period is open from now until July 8. The Arc Maryland will be providing written comment on the changes proposed and offers an opportunity for a virtual information-sharing and listening session to provide people with IDD, provider members, and their families with a forum to:
