Welcome to EDCSPIN

EDCSPIN’s focus is providing individuals with developmental disabilities and/or mental retardation the opportunity to learn skills needed to reach their highest level of independence while insuring they experience the same privileges and opportunities enjoyed by all members of our society. Our philosophy is to provide individual services that address their specific needs within their own communities promoting a positive learning experience as classified by the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (www.omr.state.ny.us). Through this person-centered approach, EDCSPIN, encourages our program participants to strive to reach their potential within familiar environments.
