Citizens for the Developmentally Disabled, Inc. (CDD) is a private, nonprofit New Mexico corporation founded in 1980 to provide sheltered work for six developmentally disabled adults in Colfax County. The organization later expanded its role through a New Mexico Department of Health contract amendment in 1984 to provide Early Intervention services, leading to the creation of The Children's Workshop. In 1999, CDD was selected to begin serving San Miguel and Mora counties. CDD now employs approximately 43 full-time employees and uses subcontractors to provide services across northeastern New Mexico, with offices in Raton, Clayton, and Las Vegas. The organization is governed by an independent board of directors and states that admission to its programs and services is offered without regard to sex, religion, ethnic origin, or ability to pay.
