Alabama Council on Developmental Disabilities (ACDD) has a mission to support
• independence,
• advocacy,
• productivity, and
• inclusion for Alabamians with developmental disabilities. ACDD is dedicated to the vision that all Alabamians, regardless of disability, will live, learn, work, and play in inclusive communities. In 2012, ACDD and its partners supported projects that would affect positive outcomes. Under authority granted under the Developmental Disabilities Act and Bill of Rights
(P.L.106-402), the ACDD provides funding consistent with the ACDD 2011-2016
State Plan. During 2012 ACDD provided over $2 million to advance its mission and vision. As a result of the Council’s projects and initiatives, individuals and families have experienced more access to the many spheres of human life. The Alabama Council on Developmental Disabilities is enthusiastic about this progress and is eager to see what future years will hold for people with developmental disabilities as the Council, alongside of various members of the community, continues to advocate for equality of opportunity for all of Alabama’s citizens.
