The Children’s Developmental Disabilities Program aims to support children with developmental disabilities by providing a comprehensive system of care. This program offers a range of home and community-based services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. The primary goal is to promote the overall development and well-being of these children.
Key features of the program include:

These services may include speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavior therapy, and other specialized interventions.
- Support Services: Along with intervention services, the program offers various support services to children and their families. These services may include counseling, respite care, case management, and assistance with accessing community resources and support networks.
- Evidence-Based Treatment Methods: The program emphasizes the use of evidence-based treatment methods, which means that the interventions and therapies provided are based on scientific research and have been proven effective in supporting children with developmental disabilities. This ensures that the services offered are of high quality and have a positive impact on the children’s development.
- Community Integration: The program recognizes the importance of community integration for children with developmental disabilities. It aims to help children actively participate in community activities, access educational opportunities, and develop social skills to foster inclusion and acceptance.
- Family Empowerment: The program acknowledges the vital role of families in supporting the development of children with disabilities. It strives to empower families by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to advocate for their children, make informed decisions, and actively participate in their child’s care and development.
By combining these elements, the Children’s Developmental Disabilities Program aims to create a comprehensive and supportive system of care that promotes the optimal development, well-being, and quality of life for children with developmental disabilities and their families.
