About Us

Supports for Children, Youth & Adults with Developmental Disabilities

DTSH Developmental Services Inc`s mission is to help people reach their developmental potential by teaching parents, care givers and families how to advocate, support, and understand their loved ones abilities in a holistic, safe, and welcoming environment.

Two things which make our program different from others, is the fact that we do not expect our students to fit the program, we make sure our program meets the student’s needs, allowing all children to gain skills at their own pace and at their own level of development.

Secondly, we believe that parents are key to helping us provide a program which respects the child holistically, we ask parents for suggestions on how to better meet the needs of their children.

We also provide parents a communication phone call once a month, this allows us to have open communication with families and parents are free to connect with us if they have any concerns or questions.

DTSH Developmental Services Inc. focuses on the developmental needs of your child and academics are incorporated over time.

We understand that not all children learn the same way, so we are able to look beyond the norm to find other ways of tapping into the knowledge that is hidden inside a child and bring it to the surface so children are able to see their own achievements, encouraging them to continue to try and build their self confidence creating more success over time.
