To be eligible for services, an individual must be a resident of Gasconade County and have a developmental disability. The onset must be before the age of twenty-two and continue indefinitely. As a result of the DD, there must be issues in at least two of the following areas: living and working independently; written or verbal communication; self-direction; learning; mobility; and/or self care.
The Rolla Regional Office (RRO) determines the eligibility of applicants for Service Coordination. Call 573-368-2200 and request to speak with an intake coordinator. They will complete an initial evaluation over the phone. If you are determined to be eligible for services, they will proceed by sending an application packet to you or schedule a time to assist you in completing the packet (if requested).
Once an individual is found eligible for services, a Service Coordinator is assigned to work closely with the individual and family to identify needs, develop an individual plan, link to services, and advocate for services and needs.
