Developmental Disabilities Act

The Developmental Disabilities Act is a law that supports individuals with developmental disabilities—long-lasting conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, or intellectual disabilities. It ensures they have access to necessary services, programs, and resources to promote independence, inclusion, and quality of life. The Act also encourages collaboration among service providers and advocates to improve support systems. By establishing guidelines and funding, it aims to remove barriers and promote equal opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to participate fully in community life.
