Office for Individuals with Disabilities

The Putnam County Office for Individuals with Disabilities was created to provide disabled individuals and their families with the necessary supports to access services throughout the community. It is the goal of the Office for Individuals with Disabilities to uphold the county’s pledge to ThinkDIFFERENTLY, which is a call to action to create a supportive and welcoming community for residents living with disabilities.

The Putnam County Office for Individuals with Disabilities strives to educate the community on how to incorporate inclusivity into their daily lives, through supportive work environments, acceptance of all individuals, regardless of their differences and a united front to learn and think with an open mindset. The Office also works collaboratively with the NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and local voluntary agencies, acting as a liaison, to help families navigate disability services and systems.

Should you, a family member or anyone you know need assistance, please contact the Office for Individuals with Disabilities at (845) 808-1641 Ext. 46019.
