Local Intellectual and Developmental Disability Authorities

Local intellectual and developmental disability authorities (LIDDAs) serve as the point of entry for publicly funded intellectual and developmental disability programs, whether the program is provided by a public or private entity. This includes the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review program. LIDDAs:

• Are responsible for completing PASRR Evaluations, also known as PEs, for people with a suspicion of ID/DD seeking admission to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility. The LIDDA Performance Contract, section A-4, outlines more responsibilities concerning the PASRR program (see below).
• Assist with appropriate community placement of people with IDD. This includes diverting or transitioning people from nursing facilities into community living options.
• Provide or contract to provide an array of services and supports for people with IDD.
• Are responsible for enrolling eligible people into the following Medicaid programs:
  • Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability or Related Condition, also known as an ICF/IID, which includes state supported living centers.
  • Home and Community-based Services.
  • Texas Home Living.
• Are responsible for Permanency Planning for consumers 22 years old and younger who live in an ICF/IID, state supported living center or a residential setting of the HCS program.
