Public policy advocacy is fueled by three main sources: the Five-Year State Plan, areas of development that are advocated by NCCDD and issues that are in the radar of public policy efforts.
The following public policy topics NCCDD advocates for are:
- Advocacy and Leadership
- Asset Development
- Caregiving and Family Support
- Community Living
- Direct Support Professional Workforce
- Education and Transition
- Employment
- Guardianship
- Meaningful Outcomes
- Medicaid Long-term Services and Supports
- Relationships
Find out more information on each topic and what you need to know to be a better-informed citizen and advocate for people with I/DD.
