We’ve been with Oak-Leyden Developmental Services for three years. The staff is very courteous and caring. Oak-Leyden’s Supported Employment Program provided the steps my son Eddie needed to secure a job. The program offered help with filling out job applications, mock interviews, and how to focus on tasks. Today, my son is working in the competitive job market and very happy with his job!
