Together for a Better Tomorrow

In honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, Wildwood was proud to be selected by WRGB CBS 6 Albany for their “Together for a Better Tomorrow” spotlight. Throughout March, our mission was featured in four segments, providing a platform to share the impact of our work across the Capital Region. These stories highlighted the importance of integrated employment, our ongoing advocacy efforts, and the vital role of the Wildwood Foundation in sustaining our programs and events. Most importantly, the series featured a firsthand look at the life-changing partnership between the individuals we support and our dedicated Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). We are grateful to CBS 6 for helping us amplify these stories of independence, resilience, and our shared commitment to a more inclusive future.
