Events this month

An important part of our work is making sure that our services are meeting people’s needs. When the legislature finds areas for improvement, we work with the IDD community to come up with possible solutions. We take that feedback, study how to make it work, and report to the legislature with the results. If the solutions cost money, we include that in the report.

We are hosting virtual Show and Share events for community members to help guide our work on projects in their early stages. If any of these projects touch your life, we would love to hear from you.

Please Zoom In to share your ideas at our Show and Share!
