We were honored to participate in two major community events this past month. Starting with the Next Steps Neurodiversity Expo, we were inspired by the insights of Dr. Temple Grandin and the resilience of the families we met. ❤️

We also spent time at the Jeffco Public Schools Special Education Resource Fair, a staple event for connecting providers with families and school staff. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, and these events are vital for ensuring no family navigates the IDD system alone.

Are you looking for providers for your next event? DDRC is always looking for new opportunities to share our resources. Contact us today to invite us to your upcoming fair or community gathering!

Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, but finding the right support can feel overwhelming. At DDRC, we offer specialized psychiatric services designed specifically for individuals (ages 14+) whose primary diagnosis is related to their intellectual and developmental disability.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Through psychiatric assessments and medication reviews, we work alongside individuals and their families to create a treatment plan that honors their independence and unique journey.

You aren't alone in this. We’re here to provide the guidance and strategies needed to thrive.

Meaningful engagement is at the heart of what we do at DDRC. Our Day Programs provide individuals with the tools to explore their interests and develop new skills in a supportive, hands-on environment.

By offering diverse tracks—ranging from physical wellness and horticulture to life skills like cooking—we ensure that every participant can pursue a path that aligns with their unique abilities and goals.

We are proud to foster an environment where socialization and personal growth go hand-in-hand. Learn more about our Onsite Services here: https://bit.ly/48JzpRr

Behavioral support isn't one-size-fits-all! For individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), the most effective path often requires a blend of Behavior Skills Training (BST) and Social Skills Training (SST). 🧩

BST teaches the foundational, concrete skills (e.g., self-care routines), while SST provides the dynamic, real-world context for applying those skills (e.g., building meaningful friendships). This integrated approach is crucial for success across the lifespan—from youth ABA therapy to vocational stability for adults.

Discover the unique methodologies, examples, and goals of each approach, and how DDRC utilizes both to create highly personalized, integrated treatment plans.
