Community Living and Self Determination

The Council believes the service system, family, and friends should support the right of individuals with developmental disabilities to make decisions about their lives and support them in those decisions.  The Council supports the rights of all people, including those with the most severe challenges, to live in their own homes and to learn, work, and play in their own communities.
