How to File a Complaint with DDA

Contact information for filing a complaint about services from the Developmental Disabilities Administration.

Who do I contact to file a complaint about my DDA Services?

  • For Field Services: Start with your case manager. Contact your Local Office and ask for your case manager.
  • For RHCs: Start with your Habilitation Plan Administrator. View RHC Contact info.
  • For initial State Operated Community Residential, including SOLA, complaints, you may e-mail: socradvocacy@dshs.wa.gov

 

Who should I contact if my complaint is not resolved or I am not comfortable speaking with my Field Services case manager or RHC Habilitation Plan Administrator?

  • Please escalate your concern through regional management up to the regional administrator level. View contact info for the field office (your local office) and ask for your regional administrator.
  • For RHC clients, please escalate your concern to the superintendent of the RHC. View RHC contact info.

 

What if I have escalated my complaint but it is still not resolved? Who can I contact if I need more help?
