About Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas

DSNWK's Mission: We advocate with persons with disabilities and those who care about them, by planning and supporting a life of dignity, interdependence, and personal satisfaction in the community.


DSNWK as a Community Service Provider assures the provision of quality services and programs to approximately 500 individuals with mild to severe disabilities. These services are available through community based and outreach programs and interagency agreements with other service providers in the 18 northwestern most counties of Kansas. In addition, DSNWK is the Community Developmental Disability Organization (CDDO) for the 18 northwest counties of Kansas. The CDDO is the single point of entry for an individual or family to obtain services through the developmental disabilities system in the State of Kansas.
