Worcester County Development Center
Help us provide an opportunity so everyone can reach their highest level of independence.
Our Mission: Worcester County Developmental Center is committed to empowering adults with disabilities to be inclusive members of society capable of independent thinking and advocating for themselves to create rich, meaningful lives.
Since its inception in 1973, WCDC has served as a lifeline for adults with developmental disabilities – a bridge to friendship, work and independence. Our educational, social, vocational, and residential programs are designed to encourage self-reliance, achievement, and economic independence. Services are based on an individual directed approach. Each program participant, with assistance from their team, chooses the services and supports they receive.
Worcester County Development Center was recently awarded the Richard A. Henson Award for Nonprofit Excellence.
From the CFES website, “The Nonprofit Award of Excellence, honoring Richard A. Henson, was awarded to Worcester County Developmental Center.
