The continuity of service that we offer – from Early Intervention through Elder Care – is one of the unique traits of ACDS and has us in the position to help throughout the lifespan of the individuals we serve. Regardless of the program type or size, our services are designed with the individual in mind. All of our activities – educational, recreational, therapeutic, and social – focus on the unique characteristics and abilities of the person we are serving.

On Long Island, ACDS works with people from birth through adulthood and offers programs for entire families. ACDS currently serves more than 1,500 people through home based and clinical Early Intervention, preschool special education, respite and recreation programs for children, teens, and adults, Brokerage/Self Direction, Fiscal Intermediary Services, day habilitation, and eight supervised group homes. Mirroring the successful outcomes of its special education preschool on Long Island, ACDS opened preschools for children with developmental disabilities ages three through five in Scarsdale and Pelham Manor.
