Community Development Center Information

The Community Development Center (CDC) is a nonprofit agency that provides a comprehensive, Early Intervention program to meet the needs of developmentally challenged children, birth to three years of age. Our Family Support program provides flexible support to households with a developmentally challenged member. The Independent Support Coordination component manages services of persons with developmental disabilities served in the Medicaid Waiver. The service areas of the program include educational, developmental, medical and living coordination. In addition to our traditional programs, we continue to explore avenues to increase the reach of our mission to the communities in which we serve. The CDC has been awarded two grants for 2014 which will allow us to expand our services in the community. Through the Pathways to Health program funded by Baptist Healing Trust, we also providing outreach, education, and enrollment assistance which will aid many South Central Tennesseans searching for affordable health care. In a partnership with the Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disabilities, we have opened The Benefits Enrollment Center, which provides assistance to adults with disabilities and seniors for enrollment into need-based public benefit programs.
