The CDD - Helping Families in Pike County


With over a decade of experience in the packing industry, Robert Wiebel of Sparta, NJ serves as the director of operations at Econo-Pak, which specializes in packaging solutions. Although dedicated to his career, Robert “Bobby” Wiebel finds time for charity work and has contributed to the Center for Developmental Disabilities, Ltd. in Pike County, Pennsylvania.

The Center for Developmental Disabilities (CDD) of Pike County helps families with children who have developmental disabilities and delays. The CDD provides various support services that include such federally-funded programs as Head Start and Early Head Start. These programs are for pregnant women and children up to age 5 who come from low-income households. 

Early Head Start helps parents understand how to care for and teach their children and support their families. It also serves as a preschool for infants and toddlers up to age three, while Head Start caters to children from ages 3 to 5.
