Join our Public Policy Priorities Roundtable
The 89th Texas legislative session is quickly approaching. Set to begin on Jan. 14, 2025, lawmakers will convene and must prioritize the needs of Texans with developmental disabilities (DD) and their families. Their decisions should be rooted in evidence and informed by real-life experiences.
Join the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities (TCDD) for a series of roundtable conversations on our Public Policy Priorities. Each roundtable will focus on one TCDD policy priority, and help us gather input to share during the upcoming legislative session. We want to hear from you! Participants will have a chance to provide feedback on the policy, discuss how they or their families are impacted by the topics, and hear stories from other Texans facing similar issues.
