The New York State Office For People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) operates 13 Developmental Disabilities Services Offices (DDSO) throughout the state. Each DDSO is responsible for the provision and oversight of a comprehensive and integrated system of person-centered services, supports and advocacy for persons with developmental disabilities. The DDSO offices are supported by two Regional Administrative Offices: Downstate and Upstate. The Downstate region supports the following DDSOs: Taconic, Hudson Valley, Long Island, Metro New York, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

Under the direction of the Associate Commissioner for the Downstate Region and in collaboration with other executive level staff, the Deputy Director is responsible for the execution of the OPWDD mission and vision. Within this role the Deputy will provide administrative and programmatic support to the Downstate region.

In addition, the Deputy Director will work closely with the DDSO Directors and the many voluntary agencies within the region.

The Deputy Director will ensure that State operated services continue to advance in the provision of truly individualized and person-centered supports within this extensive system of State Operations.

Executive Management at the Regional Office involves shared leadership, collaboration and responsibility across all administrative areas.
