Developmental Services
What are developmental services?
Planned, individualized and person (family)-centered services and supports provided to individuals with developmental disabilities. Our goal is to enable these children, youth and their families to increase their participation in all aspects of community life, optimize their ability to achieve developmental milestones and experience their fullest potential.
