About Us

Programs and advocacy for people with disabilities and their families.

Why We're Here

  • 100,000 more children born this year will be diagnosed with developmental disabilities.
  • 613,000 children ages 6-21 have some level of a developmental disability.
  • 50% of all developmental disabilities are preventable.
  • We exist because people with developmental disabilities need help to ensure that their rights as citizens of this country are protected.
