Questions

IDD stands for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. It is an umbrella term covering conditions like Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and other disabilities that affect intellectual functioning or behavior. These conditions typically appear before age 22 and affect how people learn, communicate, and live independently. IDD Program Finder focuses on post-secondary support: programs and services for adults with IDD who have aged out of school.

Type what you are looking for in plain language, like “day program near Albany for my 21-year-old son with autism, Medicaid only” or “supported employment in New Jersey for my daughter with IDD.” The more specific you are, the better the results will be. You can also use filters for state, area, Medicaid acceptance, and more. Hit the arrow to search.

Day programs, also called Day Habilitation programs, provide structured daytime activities, skill-building, socialization, and community access for adults with IDD. Supported employment helps adults with IDD find and keep real jobs in the community, often with a job coach. Some programs offer both.

The AI search lets you describe your situation and get a shortlist matched to location, disability type, funding, schedule preferences, and more. Browsing the database directly lets you scroll and filter listings yourself. Both use the same database; the AI just does the matching for you.
