May 2013-CBCAP Peer Learning Call: Connecting with Programs of the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

In this month's webinar, CBCAP State Leads hear from their colleagues with the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD). AIDD provides financial and leadership support to organizations in every state and territory in the United States to ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities and their families can fully participate in and contribute to all aspects of community life. AIDD oversees four grant programs established by the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000, oversees the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, and administers the disability provisions of the Help America Vote Act. In each state or territory, the four grant programs form a developmental disabilities network, or DD Network. The following programs are discussed on the call along with strategies that CBCAP SLAs can use to engage with them.

  • State Councils on Developmental Disabilities (Councils)
  • Protection and Advocacy Systems (P&As)
  • University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs)
