Alabama Developmental Disablities Network

2024

The Alabama DD Network exists to empower and improve and promote self-determination and capacity building for individuals with developmental disabilities. Representatives from each of the ADD funded program in Alabama - the Alabama Council for Development Disabilities (ACDD), the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program (ADAP) and the Civitan-Sparks Clinics, Alabama's University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) - engage in ongoing collaborative efforts with a range of community partners, including our representative consumer advisory councils, to address jointly identified areas of emphasis such as those impacting self-determination, health, early intervention, education, and transportation concerns and challenges. These collaborative efforts are critical in addressing the numerous needs of citizens with developmental disabilities and their families.
