Shaping the Future of Disability Services: Share Your Voice with the Colorado DD Council

Families, providers, and community leaders are invited to join Yadiel Tesfaye, MPH, Planning & Evaluation Specialist at the Colorado Developmental Disabilities Council, for an important conversation about the Council’s statewide community survey. This survey directly informs future funding, programs, and policies that impact people with disabilities in Colorado.

In this session, you’ll:

• Learn how your input can shape services for people with disabilities across the state.
• Understand the Council’s priorities and how they advocate for meaningful change.

Whether you’re a parent, speech or occupational therapist, BCBA, pediatrician, family advocate, or a person with an IDD yourself, this is your chance to help build a more inclusive, responsive system of care in Colorado.
