OMRDD’s Information Line is designed to help people get answers to
questions about supports and services for individuals with developmental
disabilities in New York State. Information Line operators are standing by
during regular business hours, Monday through Friday (except holidays) from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to give information and/or to link callers to the
appropriate personnel for assistance. In addition to the Information Line,
OMRDD's has a significant amount of information available on the agency
website. If you have questions, it's likely the answers are already online.
From brochures to memos to service guidelines to maps, nonprofit provider
links, and more, the information on the website is there for you
24x7x365.
