The Center for Family Support (CFS) mission is to provide support and assistance to individuals with developmental and related disabilities.
We are the first agency in New York to achieve the Council on Quality and Leadership Certification (CQL). By achieving this certification, it shows our commitment and dedication to creating services that enhance and improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.
It takes a truly special person to be a great Direct Support Professional : you must be passionate about helping others, dedicated to protecting a person's rights, and-most of all-willing to offer true, genuine friendship, through good times, bad times, laughter, and shared experiences.
Far too many developmentally disabled individuals are held back by the lack of a solid support system, and as a DSP, you can change that.
