Hello, I am Dave Sealy
“Presence was created to respond to the obvious and observable unmet clinical needs of people with developmental disabilities and their families in communities throughout New York State who seek clinical services but are unable to obtain them by contacting, requesting assistance from or by going to an appointment at a traditional agency established to serve their needs.
Presence was created to help fill an obvious gap in services availability to persons with developmental disabilities' and their families by offering services from clinicians trained and motivated to serve them to the best of their abilities.
Presence is continually searching for and trying to find and retain the assistance of clinicians and others who support our beliefs and the purposes for which Presence was created.”
“Every individual has a place, a purpose, and a presence that matters.”
