Disability Policy Seminar

TAKE YOUR MESSAGE TO CAPITOL HILL

Does what happens in Washington, D.C. really matter? You bet! Every day millions of Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities are impacted by the public policy decisions – big and small -- made by their representatives in Congress.

And each year, hundreds of advocates attend the Disability Policy Seminar in Washington, D.C. to learn more about and discuss the hottest topics in disability public policy. We invite you to join us for an opportunity to advance the grassroots movement for people with I/DD and make sure your elected officials know what’s important to you. Two days of informative in-depth sessions from disability policy experts and opportunities to network with others from your state will culminate in a third day starting off with breakfast on Capitol Hill before you personally meet with your elected representatives and their staffs.
