VODEC is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1968 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, by parents, teachers, and elected officials who sought a community-based work program for people with disabilities. Its mission is to help individuals with disabilities live, work, and participate in their communities in the least restrictive environment, so they can reach their full potential. The organization provides day, employment, and residential services through development centers in Omaha, Nebraska, and in Council Bluffs and Urbandale, Iowa. VODEC operates as a mid-sized nonprofit serving residents of Iowa and Nebraska in the disability services sector. In 2021, the organization hired Jolene Sonntag as Atlantic-area services supervisor, reflecting an expansion of its regional services.
