Become A Provider
A Provider can be one of the most important people in the life of an individual who has a developmental disability. Often a provider is the one whom an individual relies on for everyday assistance. Being a provider for individuals who have developmental disabilities is a very rewarding career that requires a person to be dedicated, compassionate and dependable.
What does it mean to be a Provider?

- You are your own employer
- You are responsible for your own insurance
- You are responsible for all taxes having to do with your business
- You are not an employee of Delaware County Developmental Disabilities
- You are responsible to complete all paperwork
- You are responsible to bill for your services

As a contracted provider with Delaware County Developmental Disabilities (DCDD) your name and contact information may be posted on our website. Individuals may choose to search the DODD or DCDD websites for providers or they may choose to send out an email alert to providers about the services they are requesting to find a willing and available provider. The email alert is called an RFP. You can view the Free Choice of Provider Rule, the DODD and DCDD websites by clicking below
