Intellectual and Developmental Disability Services

Permian Basin Community Centers provides services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Intellectual and Developmental Disability is a disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills and must originate before the age of 18. Intellectual and Developmental Disability can be caused by any condition which impairs development of the brain before birth, during birth, or in the childhood years. Intellectual and Developmental Disability crosses every economic, ethnic, and educational line. One out of every 10 American families is directly affected by Intellectual and Developmental Disability. 6,000 children every year in Texas are born with or will acquire Intellectual and Developmental Disability. 570,000 Texans have been diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disability. 19,000 of them have been on endless waiting lists that could provide critical MHMR services and prevent costly institutionalization; some have been waiting more than 7 years. Texas is currently 43rd in MHMR funding, causing the waiting lists to get longer each year.
