About Daybreak Independent Services, Inc.

Who We Are:

In 2010, Daybreak Independent Services opened its doors for individuals with developmental disabilities to learn and apply their skills in a traditional work setting. Since then, Daybreak has expanded its mission to multiple locations, adding both people and additional services. DBIS Serves hundreds of New Yorkers living with developmental disabilities.

Partnerships with local businesses like Stew Leonard, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls have allowed the vision to grow exponentially. In addition, taking on residential programs has allowed us to serve those who need round-the-clock supervision.

It's only the beginning. As we change lives every day, we change in the process. So the work continues, and we look forward to what lies ahead.
