Building Bridges Between Families and Resources

The Seneca County Opportunity Center is here to advocate for and guide members of our community through what can be a complex landscape of available resources, to ensure that every family can quickly access the assistance they need.

What do Service and Support Administrators do?

Service and Support Administrators (or SSAs) are personal advocates for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Serving as a guide, SSAs monitor each service a person receives and also refer families and individuals to community resources. 

Here’s How to Access Services

We make it easy to access services, supports, and resources. If your loved one has or may have a disability, here’s how to get started:
