Developmental Services

"My son has been a client for three years. He's 46. I've never seen him so happy - he has friends, attends social events, and the program even helped him find a part-time job. His life he has a purpose now." - Parent of a Developmental Services Service Recipient 

Willis Center Developmental Services supports individuals with cognitive disabilities to become happily independent and connected to their communities. 

Caring, culturally competent, and experienced staff assist individuals to live safely, independently and with dignity in the community.

If you or someone you know is in need of developmental services, please contact your local Department of Developmental Services Office here.

Through case management, individuals achieve successes such as acquiring their driver’s license, purchasing their first car, and moving into their first apartment. Others receive the support they needed to take care of their children as single parents, enroll in their first college-course, or made a smooth transition to a new town where they were connected with needed services in their new community.

Trained and compassionate case management staff provide:

• Case ManagementImg0467

• Respite Services

• Adult Daily Living Skills Training

• Safety Skills Training

• Facilitated Access to government assistance

• Community Inclusion

• Budgeting Assistance

• Housing Coordination

• Health/Medical Care Coordination

• Individualized Supports Identified by the Individual & Team 

“I know that it is because of my Case Manager’s assistance that I have been able to find a job, stay around to take care of my family, and stay out of legal trouble for the past four years. I’m happy with the services I receive here because I have been able to achieve a different way of life that I wasn’t able to on my own.” - Developmental Services Service Recipient
