Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council Current Projects
- The Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council's (MODDC) mission is to assist individuals, families, and the community to include all people with developmental disabilities (DD) in every aspect of life.
- DD Councils are groups that advocate for change. This change brings more equity to people with developmental disabilities. Each state has a DD Council.
- MODDC is led by and for people with disabilities and their families. The work of the Council is guided by the experiences of individuals and families navigating Missouri systems.
- MODDC works to make processes equal for Missourians with DD and Missourians without DD.
- This is accomplished by funding innovative projects and collaborating with universities, non-profits, and state government agencies.
