The SIDDC is a wonderful resource for families of individuals with developmental disabilities.  They are a group of dedicated advocates that I have come to rely on as a resource for many years. The SIDDC helps me to stay informed about all the changes impacting services for my son. They keep me informed of legislative issues that require a call to action, and are where I turn when I need  information about present and future needs for my son. The depth of knowledge at the SIDDC is a resource that every family of a child with special needs can rely on without question.   I highly recommend becoming a member of the SIDDC to the families of individuals with special needs and professionals who devote their time and hearts to assisting them.

I highly recommend the SIDDC. It is a great resource to family and individuals as well as agency providers alike. They have a wealth of information that can bring value and advocate for the community and those in need of help.
