For over 30 years, the Center for Disability Services has been providing quality services to people with disabilities. Today, the center is a multi-service agency that provides more than two hundred thousand hours of service annually to over 250 individuals. CDS operates as a community service under the auspices of the College of Health and Human Services at Western Michigan University. The range of services to both children and adults includes Skill Building Assistance, Supports Coordination, Community Living Services and Senior Adult Day Services. We are particularly proud of our experience and orientation toward respecting the individual, and promoting their well-being. CDS also provides WMU students with an opportunity for innovative learning and discovery in the field of disabilities.
