About Us

Prior to the advent of Indiana Developmental Training Center (IDTC), numerous children from Indiana were served at Oconomowoc Developmental Training Center (ODTC) in Wisconsin. For over 20 years, children from Indiana were placed at ODTC. The staff of ODTC had a vision, a mission, a commitment and the determination to bring the Indiana children home for treatment and services closer to home and their families. It was this relentless goal that resulted in the opening of the first Indiana site in Indianapolis.

IDTC Indianapolis opened in October of 1997. Many children from the Wisconsin facility were transferred to the Indiana site, and many new children were admitted. In a relatively short period of time, the need for such services was so great that IDTC opened a second site in Lafayette, Indiana in early 2000. In total, over 200 children and adolescents are currently being served in our Indiana programs.

IDTC is committed to compassionate, quality care and treatment.

To be the provider of choice for individuals with disabilities.

Indiana Developmental Training Center (IDTC) exists to enrich the
lives of children, adolescents and young adults who are dually diagnosed through exceptional education, individualized treatment, and behavior management utilizing day services, residential treatment and community settings. Programmatically, IDTC's mission is to teach children skills to last a lifetime.
