SDC provides a supportive environment that emphasizes an individualized approach to teaching the skills at every level, whether it be basic activities of daily living (ADL's) or advanced skills necessary for independent living. Our programs are designed to facilitate collaboration with individuals, advocates, family members, and any involved parties to ensure that a personalized plan is developed with the goal of optimizing each participant's own growth and development.
Our efforts to improve care for this unique population can be witnessed in our innovative, person-centered programs, which ensure success and prepare each and every person for a brighter future.

In order to receive OPWDD services at SDC, you must have OPWDD eligibility. Contact OPWDD Front Door to start OPWDD enrollment by calling 866-946-9733.
Individuals and Families who qualify for OPWDD services will have assistance coordinating their plan of care with a Care Coordination Organization (CCO).
CCOs provide comprehensive care management, care coordination and health promotion, comprehensive transitional care from inpatient to other settings, individual and family support, referrals and links to services. The CCOs in SDC's region are Advance Care Alliance, Care Design NY, Tri-County Care and Partners Health Plan FIDA-IDD. In addition to those above, Westchester County residents can also use LIFE Plan CCO.

You can begin the enrollment process by submitting a referral through our Enroll Now section of this site or by calling 929-265-6097 to be transferred to one of our programs.
During the enrollment process, SDC will work with the designated Care Manager who will submit a psychological evaluation, psychosocial evaluation, medical exam, Lifeplan, Level of Care, Developmental Disability profile (DDP2), CR4 and NOD09 documents. You may already have these documents from your enrollment into OPWDD or other programs. If you need assistance obtaining these documents, SDC will work with your Care Manager to get you started!
