Disabled Persons Action Organization (DPAO) was started in 1974 and fully incorporated in 1976. Joseph L. Rich, an anchor for WWNY Radio and TV at that time, began the not-for-profit organization part time from his home. DPAO is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization whose mission is to provide quality and effective individualized services for developmentally disabled children and adults in Jefferson and Lewis Counties. The services are primarily geared toward helping families cope with the stress of caring for their disabled loved ones. DPAO currently services over 600 children, adults, and their families and is the primary provider of overnight and hourly respite services in the region, offering the services to families with developmentally disabled individuals residing at home.
The DPAO Concerts series is the principal fundraising activity for the DPAO Agency. It is the mission of the Agency to provide quality and effective individualized services to developmentally disabled children and adults in Jefferson and Lewis County. The services are primarily geared toward helping families cope with the stress of caring for their disabled loved ones. Currently, DPAO provides services to over 600 families.
