All services offered by the Developmental Disabilities Association are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, or CARF. CARF accreditation certifies that the practices and policies of the Developmental Disabilities Association meet or exceed a comprehensive list of international standards that can be applied to Community Service Agencies. Accreditation is achieved following a review of practice by a qualified team of surveyors.
