Commissioner, Jordan A. Scheff

DDS

Jordan Scheff has made it his life's work to help people with intellectual and developmental problems in Connecticut. Because he was so dedicated, Governor Malloy chose him to be the Commissioner of DDS in January 2017.

The governor chose Jordan because he has worked for over 25 years to make sure that everyone in our state has the tools they need to live healthy, happy lives.

Before joining DDS, Mr. Scheff worked for a long time at MARCH, Inc. of Manchester. This organization helps people with intellectual and developmental challenges with care and support.

In April 2012, Jordan Scheff joined the Connecticut DDS as a Regional Director. Because he was so dedicated to the mission of the DDS, he was made Deputy Commissioner of the department in 2015 before stepping into his role as the Commissioner in 2017.

Mr. Scheff keeps working hard every day for this cause. He's made it his goal to help people with developmental disabilities and their families get the support, help, and tools they need to live their best lives..
