Description

• The Alabama Council for Developmental Disabilities has 36 members who oversee activities in advocacy, capacity building, and systems change. These initiatives contribute to a coordinated comprehensive system of community services that are directed by people with developmental disabilities and/or their families. This approach results in consumer and family-centered activities that have individualized supports and other forms of assistance that enable individuals with developmental disabilities to exercise self-determination, independence, productivity, integration, and inclusion in all facets of community life.

  The Council's state-wide membership includes individuals with developmental disabilities, parents and guardians of individuals with developmental disabilities, representatives of advocacy and support organizations and representatives of state and local agencies.
