Introduction

The DD Act requires that its programs are carried out in a culturally competent manner; that people with disabilities and their families participate in the design of and have access to needed community services, individualized supports, and other forms of assistance; and people from minority backgrounds are fully included in all activities. This page provides resources to support diversity & inclusion of UCEDD activities.
