We want to hear from you!

This is your opportunity to share experiences, celebrate successes, and discuss challenges faced by individuals with developmental disabilities (IDD), their families, caregivers, and professionals.

The Governor’s Council on Disabilities and Special Education is beginning work on creation of the next five year plan – your insights are crucial in guiding future priorities and enhancing services for those with IDD.

We want to hear about the successes in your community and any challenges or unmet needs you’ve observed, and your input will directly influence our planning.
