I know I want HCS services, but don’t have a slot. Who do I call to get on the waiting list for HCS services?
You can start by either contacting us or contact your local LIDDA. LIDDA stands for “Local Intellectual Developmental Disability Authority.” LIDDAs are the gatekeepers of HCS slots — they put people on the list. Texas has around 39 LIDDAs. (https://apps.hhs.texas.gov/contact/la.cfm) In the past, they were county agencies, and many have changed their names over the years. For example, Dallas County MHMR is now known as “Dallas MetroCare Services.” Because there are 254 counties in the state of Texas, the vast majority of LIDDAs serve multiple counties. The following is a list of LIDDAs we currently coordinate with, and we will be expanding throughout 2022.

Will I lose my other services such as individualized skills and socialization or dental when I choose A&A?
No, you will not lose any of the service already being provided. The difference will be the quality in which it will be provided.
