Local Intellectual & Developmental Disability Authority (LIDDA)

Overview

Our goal is to help your loved one with an Intellectual or Developmental Disability (IDD) access the services needed to achieve the highest quality of life. Our IDD Services offer an extensive array of supports tailored to the individual’s specific need with the goal of your loved one living in the community in the least restrictive setting possible. Services are provided either through Metrocare directly or through our vast network of private and public partner agencies.

We are here to connect you and your family members to the help you need and to the provider of your choice. At Metrocare, we don’t see disabilities, we see diversity and unique abilities. We call it IDDiversity

We also help enroll your child on the State waitlists for Medicaid waiver programs, known as the “interest lists” Tip! Don’t wait to enroll.
Waitlists for these programs are often 10+ years. While the wait is long, receiving these services can make a huge long-term difference

Learn more about how we’re educating our local leaders through a first-of-its-kind training in Texas
