DDD Application & the NJCAT Walk-Through
Presenter: Tina McDuffie
Statewide Director, Intake-Intensive Case Management
Division of Developmental Disabilities
Applying for services from the Division of Developmental Disabilities and completing the New Jersey Comprehensive Assessment Tool can be an overwhelming process. If you have questions or concerns about the DDD application or the NJCAT assessment, this education session was designed to give you the answers and guidance you need!
The first part of Tina McDuffie’s presentation will cover when an individual can apply for DDD services, who is eligible to apply, the documentation to be gathered, a walk-through of the application itself, an overview of the different tiers, and a general timetable on when a family can expect to receive a determination.
The second part of Ms. McDuffie’s presentation will focus on the instrument that the state of New Jersey uses to determine eligibility for services: the New Jersey Comprehensive Assessment Tool, or NJCAT. She will give caregivers suggestions on how to prepare, an overview of what to expect during the assessment, and she will provide helpful context to each section and the things a caregiver should keep in mind when answering questions. In addition, her presentation will provide guidance on what to do if you do not agree with your child’s NJCAT results, as well as what to do if your child’s needs change over time and you would like to have her/him reassessed.
At the end of her presentation, Ms. McDuffie will answer caregiver questions.
