About JSDD
At JSDD, the expectations for quality extend beyond what services and supports may be available to what life fulfilling experiences are possible.
Our philosophy supports the notion that there are no limits to those possibilities. We have developed opportunities over time through a dynamic process of establishing relationships with the agency’s residents and WAE Center members. Learning and creativity occur organically as people share themselves and develop friendships and help each other to grow.
