One of Cuyahoga DD's goals is to help people with developmental disabilities advocate for themselves - to decide and communicate what they want and need to live their best lives.

In honor of former Cuyahoga DD Superintendent & CEO Kelly Petty, Cuyahoga DD created a scholarship to help people served by Cuyahoga DD participate in self-advocacy activities.

This year, we can send two (2) adults served by Cuyahoga DD and a caregiver/companion for each (if needed) to the Self-Direction Center 2026 National Self-Direction Conference in Minneapolis, MN, May 27-29, 2026.

The scholarship includes conference registration, one (1) hotel room for three (3) nights, transportation, and meals that are not included as part of the conference. The scholarship will also cover the cost of one caregiver/companion, if needed.

For more information about the conference, visit: selfdirectioncenter.org/conference

If you would like to apply for the scholarship, please complete the application and tell us why you want to attend and what self-direction means to you by Friday, February 13.

Scholarship application: surveymonkey.com/r/G8JNGK6

Applicants will be notified whether they received the scholarship by February 20.

Our next Invited In Church Network luncheon is happening on Wednesday, February 4th! This totally free luncheon is for any pastor, church leader, ministry leader, or disability advocate.

Topic: Mental Health and the Church with Dr. Steve Grcevich of Key Ministry.

Families impacted by mental health challenges arguably represent the largest underserved population by the church in North America. Mental illness is four times more common in U.S. children than conditions described as “special needs” - autism, developmental delays, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, or traumatic brain injury. At the same time, research demonstrates that the presence of mental health conditions in kids, such as depression, disruptive behavior disorders, and anxiety may have a greater negative impact on family church attendance than disabilities served through special needs ministry.

We invite you to explore how your church might radically expand the scope and impact of your disability ministry through this presentation on outreach and inclusion with families raising kids with chronic mental health conditions.
