DDA. DVR. Two acronyms. Two completely different agencies. Very easy to confuse.

DDA (Developmental Disabilities Administration) funds long-term support including respite, community inclusion, residential services.
DVR (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation) focuses specifically on employment.
Many people qualify for both.

We wrote a plain-language explainer breaking down exactly what each one does, who qualifies, and when to call which one first.

Join us in welcoming Kim Pierret to our Grace Clinic Board.

As the Chief Operations Officer at Columbia Ability Alliance and an expert in finance and accounting, Kim understands the impact strong nonprofits have on a community.

But her connection to Grace Clinic is also deeply personal.

“As a kid without dental insurance, we only went to the dentist when there was pain,” she says, and by then it was something worse. “Having a place like Grace Clinic that provides free dental, medical, and counseling is so important for keeping people healthy.”

“To do this in a God-centered way makes it even more meaningful to me,” she added.

We’re grateful Kim has chosen to share her heart and expertise with Grace Clinic. Welcome, Kim! 💙
