The Tennessee Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (DIDD) operates regional offices that serve as the local entry point to the department's community service system. These offices are dedicated to providing support and opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities to live as contributing members of their chosen communities. They offer a range of services, including assessments, training, interventions, and clinical disciplines, as well as residential and day services through contracted providers.
As stewards of public funds, the regional offices conduct reviews of agencies, ensure appropriate community supports, and oversee the review of service and cost plans. They also implement policies and procedures to ensure consistent application of services and supports across the state. Additionally, the offices operate compliance and investigative follow-up systems to monitor performance and recommend actions for improving service delivery to individuals with intellectual disabilities.
