ACDS's primary headquarters is located in Plainview, New York. ACDS was originally founded in 1966 by a group of parents on Long Island who were seeking services for their young children with Down syndrome. Since then we have grown and evolved into a lifetime services agency that serves families of individuals with a wide range of disabilities, from before birth until late adulthood. Our programs
are delivered in a variety of settings, including our educational center in Plainview, in the family’s home, in community based programs and in our Individualized Residential Alternative group homes (IRAs). We offer Early Intervention and preschool services, MSC, Dayhab and residential services. We currently have the capacity to serve more than one thousand people across all our programs.
