Brooklyn Developmental Disabilities Council

Yesterday was the April Meaningful Day Committee with some great information shared on accessing services from some knowledgable professionals.

Please join us and participate in future meetings as there are many questions we get asked and this is a great forum to come and obtain support and connect with not just professionals, but other families in similar situations with similar questions and a variety of experiences.

What is the Meaningful Day Committee?

This committee will focus on promoting the well-being and autonomy of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across their entire lifespan. We will explore initiatives that address various stages of life, from birth through childhood, and adulthood into aging, by touching on topics such as; children’s services, transition services, day habilitation, and employment services. Our aim is to combine insight and resources from self-advocates, families, providers, care managers, employers and more, to tackle issues, provide clarity and guidance, and help navigate these complex systems. Most importantly, we can combine our voices in the effort to help advocate for change within the systems.
