Accredit Your Program. Elevate Your Impact.
NADD Accreditation recognizes programs that meet the highest standards in IDD/MH Dual Diagnosis care, helping organizations demonstrate excellence and drive better outcomes for the people they serve.
What Accreditation Means
Program Level Recognition
Accreditation is awarded at the program level, not the organization. That means if your organization runs multiple programs serving individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities and co-occurring mental health needs, each can be evaluated and recognized independently.
16 Competency Areas
Developed in partnership with NASDDDS, and industry leaders, the NADD Accreditation Program evaluates your program across 16 competency areas, covering everything from philosophy and practice to staff development and service delivery.
Is Your Program Ready?
Meet the Standards
Your program is evaluated against 16 established competency areas designed to drive quality and consistency in IDD/MH services.
