About Us
SD Associates has been providing assessment, consultation, and training to schools, mental health agencies, individuals with disabilities and their families since 1990. For the past 10 years, our support has expanded to include direct service to children, youths and adults in school, home and community settings. For many, we are able to provide “wrap-around” support that enables individuals to remain in their home communities with their families
Recently, many states have passed legislation enabling private insurance funding for home-based support of children and youths with developmental disabilities. This has opened up a new resource for families and we are currently providing insurance supported service in Vermont and the upper valley region of New Hampshire.
Mission Statement
It is our mission at SD Associates to provide evidence-based services that will enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. We believe that all people can learn regardless of their challenges. We teach pro-social skills that enable meaningful community integration and support effective life long learning.
