Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most community-based services for transitioning young adults with disabilities are funded through two state-administered agencies that receive federal funding: Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and Developmental Disabilities (DD). The names of the agencies may vary across states. For instance, the VR agency may be called the Department of Rehabilitation or the Department of Rehabilitation Services. State VR programs are time-limited and are available only if the goal for the transitioning young adults is employment. In contrast, DD agencies assume an ongoing need for intervention. DD agencies generally provide more long-term services, including supported employment, day programming, residential services, and case management (Division of Rehabilitation Services, 2018; Maryland Department of Health Developmental Disabilities Administration, 2018).
