Southern Tier Connect is a specialized Care Coordination Organization (CCO) that services Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. The following is meant to be a tool used to help in understanding if Southern Tier Connect may be the right service for you. The results of this tool are not intended to replace a formal eligibility authorization by the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) nor is it intended to provide medical or other diagnostic advice or care. A formal eligibility determination by OPWDD will always be necessary.
