How to Use This Directory

This directory identifies key employment services offered by employment providers in Arizona. It does not, however, provide a comprehensive list of all of the services offered by each provider. The information was obtained by employment providers who responded to the survey. This guide is organized by funding source (either the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) or the Rehabilitation Services Administration - Vocational Rehabilitation (RSA-VR)), with providers listed alphabetically by county. Some of the services listed may not be funded by the Division of Developmental Disabilities or Vocational Rehabilitation. Please confirm with the provider which services are funded. This list will be updated throughout the year. Please check back with the Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (addpc.resources) to ensure you have the most up-to-date version of the Arizona Employment Provider Directory.

To contact DDD directly, click des.services/disabilities/developmental-disabilities or call 602-542-0419.

To contact RSA-VR directly, click des.rsa-contact-information, or call 1-800-563-1221.
