Who We Are
The Western New York Developmental Disabilities State Operations Office (WNYDDSOO) provides services to individuals with developmental disabilities, in a variety of settings and locations within the seven counties of Western New York.
The Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) provides high-quality, person-centered services, supports and advocacy to approximately 120,000 individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. OPWDD works with a network of nearly 800 not-for-profit providers to help people with developmental disabilities lead richer lives that include meaningful relationships, good health, personal growth and productivity and homes in their communities.
Our goal is to help people with developmental disabilities achieve their personal best and attain the highest level of independence through individualized service programs.
