We believe that through greater independence, individuals are able to experience a higher quality of life. The mission of Developmental & Disability Services of Lebanon Valley is to empower children with developmental delays and persons with disabilities to lead more productive, satisfying and/or independent lives.

DDS equally recognizes the importance of inclusion and socialization to create an environment in which people feel accepted for who they are. By a greater sense of self, individuals are more confident and independent.

Through DDS early intervention programs and job coaching services, individual’s lives are transformed as they overcome challenges and gain greater independence—we call this the power of independence.
