DD Day at the Legislature

Every year the Council co-sponsors Developmental Disabilities Day at the Legislature. We do this with the Developmental Disabilities Coalition. Hundreds of people with developmental disabilities, family members, advocates, and service providers come together in Annapolis.

 

Legislators, state leaders, and other advocates will provide information about issues that are important to people with developmental disabilities and their families. This is a great way to learn more about the legislative process and how to advocate about the issues important to you.

 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s DD Day at the Legislature on Thursday, February 13 in Annapolis! If you missed the event, a recording will be available soon on The Arc Maryland’s YouTube page.

 

The DD Day agenda and fact sheets about important issues are available below in English and Spanish.
