The DD Council recognizes that racism, ableism, poverty, geography and many other circumstances often impact people with IDD and their families disproportionately to the general population. The Council engages in DEI work, both internally and the community, to create a more inclusive and powerful society. The DD Council worked with Wandke Accessibility on a 6-phase project which provided an assessment and recommendations for improving the accessibility of Council meetings and activities. This included website evaluation, stakeholder engagement, analysis, and final report.
