Leadership

 Meet our Senior Leaders and Board of Directors

Strategic Plan

Developmental Disabilities Institute (DDI) has been assisting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families on Long Island for almost 60 years.
 
During that time, we have evolved and grown, serving larger numbers of people and expanding the types of supports and services we provide.
 
Our evolution has always been focused on delivering on our mission to help children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities experience growth and fulfillment.
 

Why DDI?

Robert's team goes above and beyond the call of duty.

The classroom teacher, behavior specialist and the teaching assistants in his classroom have been nothing short of amazing. They are so wonderful in communicating with us and they share in the joys and excitement we have regarding our son's accomplishments. ~Siobhan Domingo, Early Childhood Parent
