What does PDSP mean in DISABILITY

The Preschool Disability Support Program (PDSP) provides support and resources to families with preschool aged children who have a disability. The program aims to improve the quality of life for these individuals and their families, by providing services and resources to meet the unique needs of these children.

PDSP services are available to all children ages three through five who have a physical, developmental or emotional disability or chronic health condition that impairs functioning in any major life activity. Families must live within specific service delivery areas in order to qualify for PDSP.

PDSP provides in-home direct therapy, family support coordination, parent/caregiver training, consultation, community resource referral, intervention planning/support coordination, family navigation assistance and therapeutic groups.

To access PDSP services you will need to contact your local Regional Intervention Center for an assessment. After evaluation, if your child meets the criteria then he/she will be eligible for PDSP services.

All PDSP services are offered at no cost to families unless medically necessary transportation is required or additional special equipment may be needed as part of specialized programming or treatment plan.
