September is nationally regarded as Direct Support Professional (DSP) Appreciation Month. EEDA recognizes the incredible work that our DSPs do every day. We know how fortunate we are for their dedication, skill and creativity. DSPs are the backbone of our industry and truly do the most important work in our organization.

EEDA is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides supports and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. EEDA, a grassroots agency, was organized in 1992 by a small group of parents who were active advocates for their children and believed that everyone has the right to fully participate in quality education, medical, habilitation and recreational services. To that end, EEDA secured funding to create programs of excellence that promote life enhancement for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages.
Today, EEDA provides services to over 700 individuals and continues to be managed by the same group of parents who started the organization.
