About Us

Citizens for the Developmentally Disabled (a.k.a. The Colfax County Workshop and The Children’s Workshop) is a private, non-profit New Mexico Corporation. CDD provides services to developmentally disabled adults ages 18 and older utilizing consumer individualized choices and people first philosophies. The Children’s Workshop, which was added to our scope of services in 1984, provides services to families with infants, toddlers and/or preschoolers who are developmentally delayed or at risk. The CDD was founded in 1980 to provide services to six developmentally disabled adults. Since that time, CDD, Inc. has expanded into several counties as the need for developmentally disabled services increased.
