Each regional center is managed by a facility director. The DSN board is responsible for developing a local service plan and supervising service coordination. Although most DSN boards deliver services directly, some arrange for specific services to be delivered by other community organizations. Just as DDSN is responsible for promoting and coordinating other state agency efforts on behalf of people with disabilities and special needs, local DSN boards are responsible for developing and coordinating services and funds from local agencies. This system permits people with disabilities and special needs to remain in their own homes or, if this is not possible, to live in a family-like setting in their communities.
Many telephone lines have multiple uses.
DDSN and its service delivery system do not discriminate in any way in the delivery of services or the employment of qualified people.
