Adult Services
Services for adults with developmental disabilities are accessed through
Independent Service Coordination (ISC) agencies. These are also known as
Pre-Admission Screening (PAS) agencies. Independent Service Coordinators or
Pre-Admission Screening agents determine eligibility for services for adults
with developmental disabilities. Individuals interested in services available
through the Division of Developmental Disabilities must contact their ISC and
ask to complete a PUNS (Prioritization of Urgency of Need for Services) Form.
This form is completed by interview and is the document that enters an
individual into the system of services for prioritization and eligibility.
Additional information about the PUNS form and process is available in the
Documents/Resources section of our website. Once an individual is selected from
the PUNS database, eligibility is determined, and if that person is found to be
eligible, referrals are made to the appropriate Service Providers.
