Who We Are
The Colorado Developmental Disabilities Council is a 24-member body appointed by the Governor to advise the Governor and General Assembly on matters impacting persons with developmental disabilities. The DD Assistance and Bill of Rights Act mandated the creation of a Council on Developmental Disabilities in each state and in all U.S. possessions and territories. Colorado's Council functions independently, advocating for the development and implementation of public policy to further the independence, self-determination, and community inclusion of Coloradoans with living with developmental disabilities.
