OCDD operates two supports and services centers (formerly called developmental centers) that provide residential services along with an array of community-based supports and services:

Find a Provider

A Freedom of Choice Provider is the process whereby OCDD ensures that each person and/or their family has the right to choose the service provider most qualified to meet their needs. It is important to learn as much as possible about a prospective provider in order to make an informed decision regarding, which agency will be best suited to meet you or your family member's needs.

For Providers

If you are a provider and would like to be added to the listing OR if you are a provider and would like to make changes regarding your current information, please complete the Medicaid Freedom of Choice List for Waiver Services - Provider Request Form, click here.

Provider Questionnaire

Selecting a service provider is an important decision for persons accessing the OCDD service delivery system. In an effort to assist persons/families with making an informed decision, OCDD has developed a questionnaire to be completed by the service provider. By taking a few minutes to complete this questionnaire you will be able to describe all the supports, services and specialties that your agency has to offer to those we serve. OCDD will make the information available on our webpage, freedom of choice listing, for persons/families to review. If your agency is interested in providing this information, please complete the questionnaire and submit it electronically to Janae.Burr@la.gov. You can access the form by clicking here.
