The Office of Developmental Program’s (ODP) Provider Applicant Orientation was developed to ensure that all Applicants intending to provide waiver services to individuals with an Intellectual Disability or Autism have a basic understanding of how the ODP system operates prior to starting services. This Orientation is required for any new applicant seeking approval to provide services under the ODP Intellectual Disability/Autism Waivers (the Consolidated, Community Living, and Person Family Directed Support Waivers) and the Adult Autism Waiver (AAW).

The Provider Applicant Orientation is offered free of charge and is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Programs. Applicants must complete all requirements in order to receive credit for the Orientation.

Only the CEO/Executive Director is permitted to complete the Orientation requirements using her/his individual MyODP account. If you have already created an account, click the link below.
