Community Inclusion & Development Alliance Inc

Community parent resource center: cida receives federal funding to operate a community parent resource center that supports children with disabilities, defined by the 13 idea categories, and their parents in the new york and long island regions. The program goals are to empower parents with the knowledge and skills necessary to support their childrens development across early intervention, school-aged, and postsecondary stages. Additionally, we aim to enhance the self-advocacy skills of youths with disabilities.

Ages service: cida offers life skills programs for adults with developmental disabilities and caregiver training and resource support for accessing community-based programs and independent living of individuals with disabilities.

Other programs: cida offers a variety of youth programs designed to enhance self-advocacy among young adults with disabilities. These include youth empower sessions, sexuality and sex-abuse prevention workshops, and transition resource sessions. We also manage smaller initiatives such as the language access project, emergency preparedness, and autism resource development project.
