Since the early 1960s, Developmental Disabilities of Clark County has provided information, support, and services for people with developmental disabilities such as intellectual disability, autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or traumatic brain injury.
We arrange housing and independent living options so people with developmental disabilities can be assured that their needs will be met when family members can no longer care for them. This year we assisted 1,097 Clark County residents with funding, support, safeguards, and connections with partner agencies.
Much of what we do takes place in the community, where individuals with developmental disabilities live, work, and participate as everyday citizens. We provide job skill training so that adults with developmental disabilities can be successfully employed and become more self-sufficient. We provide services for children and adults with severe disabilities that would be too costly for families to afford. We monitor and investigate situations in order to maintain safe living conditions for individuals.
