Our Purpose:
To provide parents and families of childrent with disabilities emotional, educational, and spiritual support.

Our History:
As parents of children with disabilities, the founders of LYDC quickly realized the lack of support for families who wanted spiritual, emotional and educational support.

These parents started an outreach ministry for those with similar concerns and began to educate the community on disability related issues.

LYDC is a parent-run center, established to provide parent friendly support in a Christian setting.

We Believe:

• All families have strengths that should be identified, encouraged and enhanced.
• All parents have the right to equal and fair treatment, particularly when obtaining services for their children, regardless of educational, social or cultural background.
• All children have the right to receive appropriate services to help them reach their full potential.
• All children and their families are valuable.
  

We Offer:

• A lending library.

• Parent to parent peer support.
• Telephone support when parents are faced with a crisis, have questions, or just need to talk.
• New Discoveries Newsletter.
