About Us: Colorado Springs Developmental Disability Therapy
Our Journey and Mission
Colorado Springs Developmental Disability Therapy (CSDDT) was founded in 2017 with a vision to become a comprehensive online resource for individuals, families, and professionals navigating the landscape of developmental disabilities in Colorado Springs. Since its inception, our mission has been to bridge the information gap that often exists in this field by providing unbiased, accurate, and up-to-date resources dedicated solely to enhancing lives through therapy.
