Together we can create an individualized plan from a variety of services that meet your specific needs and goals.

Programs Include:

Parents and Youth Program – If you are a parent with a developmental disability or you care for children with developmental disabilities, our Parents and Youth Program is here for you. We specialize in meeting the unique needs of families like yours. We assist you in obtaining or maintaining public benefits like Medicaid, Temporary Assistance, SSI and SSD. We also link you to services, including habilitation services, residential services, day programs, respite, and counseling. We provide advocacy to your family during Family Court hearings and CSE (Committee on Special Education) meetings. In an effort to keep families together, we contract with the Erie County Department of Social Services to provide preventative services as an additional support.
