Hamilton District Society for Disabled Children

The HDSDC was created to address the needs of children and youth with disabilities limiting their ability to function in daily living activities.

Who We Are

The Hamilton District Society for Disabled children was created many years ago to assist in addressing the needs of children and youth who have disabilities that limit their ability to function in activities of daily living.

Our efforts help children and their families achieve their potential regardless of their condition.
