DDA is an organization that's designed to strengthen families' knowledge about social-emotional learning.

Wraparound shifts focus away from a traditional service-driven, problem-based approach to care and instead follows a strengths-based, needs-driven approach.

The skills taught at DDA will form a foundation for self-regulations, help children build social-emotional skills, and will prepare children to be better adults.
