Developmental Disabilities Supports Division promotes promising practices in Home and Community-Based Services to showcase various efforts, activities and pilot programs that are proving to be promising techniques for meeting the changing needs of New Mexicans with developmental disabilities.

Promising practices include innovations for programs and policy, financing mechanisms, quality improvement and information gathering systems.
