No time like the present to GET INVOLVED!
Parents, you should know: Your involvement matters, you can get involved in many ways.
For over fifty years, since the Council on Developmental Disabilities was created by a group of concerned parents. Family Outreach activities have been a core part of the Council! About 30 years ago on a more formal basis, the Family Outreach program was established because parents realized the tremendous benefit they gained through their interaction with one another. Since that time the Council has provided a staff person who work with the Family Outreach Committee to develop ways to facilitate ongoing friendships between parent of infants, children, and adult children with developmental disabilities.
