Thank you to the Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council for coordinating the 25th annual Disability Rights Legislative Day.

This annual event brings together hundreds of self-advocates, families, service providers, legislators, and community members to highlight important issues facing people with disabilities.

We also had the opportunity to meet with Representative Marlon Anderson and Senator David Gregory to educate them about the needs of the IDD community in Missouri, as well as the importance and impact of property tax dollars allocated each year by developmental disability boards.

The Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council (MODDC) is seeking feedback about the activities that matter most to individuals and families. Do you enjoy singing, sports, video games, or arts and crafts?

The Council wants to better understand what makes participation meaningful and what barriers may make it difficult. Survey responses will help inform future opportunities, resources, and supports that promote connection and inclusion across Missouri communities.

Please take a few minutes to complete the short survey and share your experiences. Every response helps strengthen inclusive recreation efforts statewide.
