How to Become a Parent Provider If your child qualifies for Habilitation and/or Attendant Care services through DDD/ALTCS, you may be eligible to provide some or all of these services as a Parent Provider. AZA United is committed to supporting our families and we are pleased to be able to offer this opportunity for interested parents. The first step is to fill out this application. Once we review your eligibility, we will contact you with next steps. If you have any questions, contact our Family Support Team.

Additional restrictions apply for children under age 18 (see FAQs above). Contact your DDD support coordinator if you need assistance with authorized service hours.
