Our Mission
Building Independence ~ Unlocking Potential ~ Living Life to the Fullest!
Spring Dell assists adults with disabilities in achieving their highest level of independence by providing support and employment opportunities for the quality of life they desire. We’re creating an inclusive community for all!
Our Services
Community Residential Services
Spring Dell’s Community Residential Services empower individuals with developmental disabilities to live independently in the community, providing support for daily tasks and fostering community involvement, independence, and social connections.
Meaningful Day Program
Spring Dell’s Meaningful Day Program serves individuals with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 21 and above. Our program offers highly structured, individualized training focused on communication, social skills, and life skills. The program empowers participants to gain independence, prepare for vocational opportunities, and engage actively in their community.
Apply for Services
You may contact us by emailing info@springdellcenter.org or calling (301) 934-4561.
Employment Services
We help individuals with developmental disabilities find jobs aligned with their interests and abilities, providing support to ensure job success and fostering positive workplace relationships. As individuals grow more skilled, support is gradually reduced, with ongoing assistance available as needed.
Transportation
Spring Dell Center promotes independence by encouraging individuals, often with the assistance of their caregivers and families to arrange their own transportation through community resources, public transportation, friends, co-workers and family members. Spring Dell will make every effort to provide transportation to jobs and programs when other options aren’t available.

Today marks 36 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law — the first comprehensive civil rights law for people with disabilities in the world.
But Spring Dell's story didn't start with a law. It started in 1962, when a group of parents believed their children belonged in community — not on the margins of it. What began as the HARC Day Care Center, with two staff and six children in La Plata's Shelton Building, became Spring Dell Center in 1967.
Today, we celebrate the legal foundation that protects the people we support. And we keep doing the work that came before it: building pathways to employment, independence, and full lives in Southern Maryland.

Before she ever put on a Chick-fil-A uniform, Ashaunna already knew that employment was her right.
She knew that meaningful work shouldn’t be set aside for reward for a subset of people. She just needed the right partner to help her realize her goal. With Career Bridges, she found the opportunity to realize her goal to find employment.
