Welcome

Established in 1964, the Polk County Developmental Achievement Center (DAC) provides day training and habilitation services to adults with developmental disabilities.  Governed by a board of directors of interested and committed citizens from western Polk County, the DAC is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

OUR MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

Our mission is to promote and support individuals with disabilities to acquire, improve and maintain enjoyment and quality of life through individualized programming.  Our philosophy is "clients come first!"  We attempt to base all our decisions on this premise and this is our guide when developing programs.
