LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE

The Developmental Disabilities Supports Division (DDSD) partners with parents, advocates, providers and other interested parties to develop quality across the Division. Through these committees, DDSD receives input from constituents on the entire system.

Advisory Council on Quality

The Advisory Council on Quality (ACQ) advises NM DDSD on the systems guiding the provision of services and supports that assist people with developmental disabilities of all ages and their families to be fully included in New Mexico communities. This area includes information about the DD Waiver Steering Committee, the Mi Via Advisory Committee (MVAC), the Policy and Quality Committee, the Wait List Subcommittee, and more.

The Advisory Council on Quality (ACQ) Mi Via Vendor Stakeholder Subcommittee is actively working to address key issues affecting Mi Via vendors across New Mexico. This subcommittee provides a platform for vendors to collaborate, voice concerns, and work towards solutions with state partners, including the Health Care Authority (HCA), the Developmental Disabilities Supports Division (DDSD), and Conduent. Recent discussions have focused on improving budget access, streamlining billing processes (including CSV file capabilities), and resolving Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) challenges. We encourage all Mi Via vendors to participate and share their insights.
