Meet PDS Clients!

Meet some of the wonderful, hard working and impressive PDS people. We appreciate your interest in learning more about them. If there is one thing you take away from these stories, please know that most people with developmental disabilities want to be noticed. They do not want to be shut away from society, ignored or forgotten.

If you see Minh Tien, JR or any other PDS participants around Marin, please say hello or just smile. You might just make their day.
